Donations to good causes come in many forms, but a kind-hearted gesture by local business, Bay Mazda Hastings, in the shape of a brand new Mazda BT50 ute, will make a big difference to the Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter Trust.
The vehicle, which is branded with the Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter imagery, will be the Trust’s operational vehicle, and will mainly be used by the pilot on duty.
“The rescue helicopter crew provide an amazing service to Hawke’s Bay, and regularly risk their lives to provide this essential service,” said Stephen Salkeld, dealer principal at Bay Mazda Hastings. “We felt that supporting their work by donating a brand new, reliable, vehicle is the least that we can do. We believe in our local community, and are proud to sponsor the good work of this fantastic local charity.”
“We are very grateful to Bay Mazda Hastings for coming on board with this significant donation to the Rescue Helicopter! said Laura Hyde, marketing and fundraising manager. “Because this is a brand-new vehicle, it will mean significant savings to the Trust in maintenance and running costs.”
