Western Bay of Plenty District Council staff take up Everest 2020 challenge.

Our people are heading up Mauao again this year to conquer the MoreFM Mount Everest Challenge to help fund raise for the Tect Rescue Helicopter Service.

This is the third year our staff have taken the challenge. In 2019 we helped the the Tauranga RDA and in 2018 the Waipuna Hospice.

This year we want to do our bit to help the Tect Helicopter Service – we would love your givealittle support to help us with this challenge.
