Major Donations

Matthew Flanagan, Regional Manager CQ,
Master Builders Association

Donated $2000

"It gives me great pleasure to be afforded this opportunity to donate $2000 to the Capricorn Helicopter Rescue Service. I am sure this donation will assist CHRS in continuing to provide a fantastic aerial search and rescue service to the Central Queensland community. Master Builders chose CHRS for this donation as it is certainly a community service worth supporting, providing peace of mind to MBQ members who work in an industry that does from time to time experience incidents that may require your organisation's assistance. The Master Builders annual Golf Day raised the funds to make this donation possible.

Nobody likes to dwell on what may or may not occur; however in times of distress when accidents do happen either at work or when members are just out enjoying their weekend social activities, your service is a shining light to them knowing that if the CHRS is required it will be there for them and their families."
