Righto, Invercargill… who’s next?

Fulton Hogan set the bar high with an epic donation, and we've had so many kind organisations and individuals back us - but we know that our reels and "kitten-saving" antics mean there are probably a few more businesses out there, quietly wanting to jump on the bandwagon.

Now’s your chance to step up, get behind the boys, and make your mark. Whether it’s big or small, every dollar counts, and it all goes towards a bloody good cause 🩸

Tag a business, call someone out, or jump in yourselves, let’s see who’s got it! It's go-time for Corey and Jed on Saturday, 23 May, which isn't far away.

At the start: how to pose with the bros - firefighter edition. Nice, composed, everyone looking like they know what they’re doing.

Fast forward about 15 seconds: it all went out the window - Char getting launched into the air definitely wasn't part of the plan.. or was it!

It's safe to say things escalated pretty quickly, but in all seriousness, it’s been unreal seeing everyone get in behind this. The laughs, the support, and the generosity have all been something pretty special.

If we gave you a laugh, or you’ve been following along, now’s a pretty good time to jump in and support Blood Cancer NZ:

Every dollar counts. and it all goes towards a bloody good cause.

Cheers, Corey and Jed

There’s nothing quite like a hug at arrivals.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the moments that matter most: reconnecting with the people we love.

Today is for mums, grandmothers, and all the incredible people who take on a mothering role in our lives.

Wherever your journey takes you, we’re here to help you get there.

Happy Mother’s Day from Invercargill Airport.

Here at Invercargill Airport, connection is at the heart of what we do.
That’s why we’re proud to support Whānau Link, helping eligible Southland households access reliable internet at home. This initiative is opening doors to learning, opportunity, employment and essential services, while ensuring more Southlanders have the tools they need to stay connected.
If your household may be eligible, we encourage you to check. We’re absolutely here for it.

The SBS Bank Southland Sharks are wheels up from Invercargill this afternoon as they head north for a big double-header road trip! 🦈🏀

The Sharks take on:
📍 Taranaki Airs: Thursday night in New Plymouth
📍 Manawatu Jets: Saturday night in Palmerston North

After a strong start to the Sal's New Zealand National Basketball League season, the boys will be looking to bring home some valuable away wins and keep building momentum.

If you’re travelling north, make sure you get along and support the Sharks courtside, or tune in and back Southland from wherever you are!

From all of us at Invercargill Airport, we wish the team, coaches, management and supporters safe travels and all the best for the road trip.

Huge thanks to Fulton Hogan Invercargill for their donation!

Steve from Fulton Hogan reckons this one was a tactical move - putting the donation under Corey’s name to help him close the gap on Jed… we’ll see how that plays out 😂

Every dollar counts, and this one was nothing short of epic.

Really appreciate you getting in behind the Invercargill Airport Sky Tower Challenge boys and the cause!

We’ve tried bravery.
We’ve tried embarrassment.
Now we’re moving into something far more powerful… emotional manipulation.

KITTENS… cute, outrageously photogenic kittens. Honestly, at this point, not donating feels a bit personal.

So go on, support us as we climb 1103 stairs in full gear, questioning every life choice that led us here, one painful step at a time.

Hit the donate button. Do it for the kittens. Do it for the cause. Do it so this suffering means something.

PS: No kittens were harmed during this fundraiser. Our dignity is gone, and our legs are not far behind.

Donate and make this worth it 👇
