Big or small, everything helps
Fundraising can be a great social occasion, as well as a bonding exercise for workmates. Whether you go for something simple - like a cake sale at morning tea time - or pull out all the stops with a recreation event like ASB’s Bankers on Bikes, we’ll be thrilled that you’re helping us. Every year we have to raise a substantial amount of funds to support the delivery of our emergency ambulance services and other community care programmes, so we’re extremely grateful when people take the time and effort to help us.
