Jump! for Red Cross
New Zealand Red Cross has partnered with Skydive Tauranga to host an exhilarating event. You will start your adventure with a 20/25 minute scenic flight of Tauranga and surrounding areas, taking in a mix of golden sand beaches, waterways, cities and mountains and when you reach 12,000ft you will take the plunge free falling back towards Tauranga at 200km/h on a tandem skydive.
You will need to raise $500 minimum to do the jump, raise $800 to do the jump and receive the photo package for free or raise $1000 to do the jump, and we will throw in the photo and video package! Jump day is Sunday 26 July.
*If the jump cannot go ahead on the day (e.g. poor weather conditions), a voucher will be provided by the operator to reclaim at a time convenient for you.
So, what are you waiting for… cross skydiving off your bucket list or help throw a boss, friend or whanau out of a plane and support New Zealand Red Cross all at the same time!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
