We had an awesome day on Saturday 16th June, with SPCA returning for 'Jump To The Rescue 2018'. Over $102,000 was raised, and with an original target of $60,000, it has been an incredible success. 118 people signed up to fundraise for this charity jump. Since last year's event at Skydive Auckland, regional SPCA branches had merged to become SPCA New Zealand, so the event itself went nationwide and a choice of three dropzone locations around the country were offered to those fundraisers who successfully raised the target $880, to get their free skydive and 'Jump To The Rescue' from 13,000ft.

We had a great sunny day in Auckland with the 23 animal lovers that visited on Saturday to skydive, not to mention the supporting rabbits and dogs that come out to visit! Well done guys.

We now have our own shop in the CBD!

Our skydives are booked by many of the travel agents, hotel staff and information centre teams around Auckland, so we invited some of them in for a look at our base, some food and drinks, and a few jumps! Well done to Beverley from I-Site Sky City for making it to the group photo - in canopy.

Julian, Peterpans Auckland - "The BEST skydive I have ever done. Everyone will tell you to go skydiving in Taupo, Wanaka or Queenstown. Believe me guys, I've been there and done that. So far, Auckland was my favourite skydive! The drive out to West Auckland is awesome, their facilities are top class as they are not just a tourism company, but also train solo jumpers. The skydive itself had views over Mt Taranaki, the west and east coast plus the Hauraki Gulf. Absolutely stunning.

Some of our team members are Tamaki Makaurau Auckland Ambassadors and have done a course designed for people engaging with international and domestic visitors across Auckland. The aim is to create storytellers and ambassadors with real pride in Tamaki Makaurau in Auckland.

We had an awesome fairy themed day this week! Those who had raised the $600 target to raise money for 4 year old Aucklander Ella, were treated to a 13,000ft skydive. Ella was here too and watched as fairies actually came down from the sky. Brilliant day and well done to everyone who took part. We are extending this fundraising cause until the end of March 2018 - so sign up NOW!

Ella was born at 25 weeks weighing 800 grams and was given a slim chance of ever leaving hospital.She has life long conditions: Cerebral Palsy, Hydrocephalus and Epilepsy. Ella has been selected to undergo Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) at St Louis Children's Hospital in America.

We are hosting an event called 'Skydiving Fairies' on Saturday 2nd December, to raise money for Ella, a brave 4 year old Kiwi who desperately needs help.

Ella was born at 25 weeks weighing 800 grams and was given a slim chance of ever leaving hospital. She has life long conditions; Cerebral Palsy, Hydrocephalus and Epilepsy. Ella has been selected to undergo Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) at St Louis Children's Hospital in America. Her surgeons believe that Ella will be able to walk with crutches and possibly even independently, giving her a whole new quality of life. This operation is not available to Ella in NZ, and due to restrictions in NZ to get support with overseas medical care, Ella needs over $150,000NZD to be raised.

Ella loves fairies and fairies come from the sky. Sign up to 'Skydiving Fairies' to raise money for Ella. Every fundraiser page that raises over $600 for the Skydive Auckland will receive a free tandem 13,000ft skydive. Find out more information or sign up to Skydive For Ella.
