The Charles Upham Retirement Village Big Splash

The Charles Upham Retirement Village BIG SPLASH!

The Charles Upham Retirement Village Big Splash is a fundraising event where several rather keen, community minded folk gather donations and sponsorship to ensure they 'take the plunge' into a pool of ice cold water in the middle of winter.

The event was held on Friday 1st July at the Rangiora RSA Club and once again we were very lucky to have a dry, but cold evening!

Fundraised monies from this years Big Splash is being split three ways between the Rangiora Stroke Club, St John Rangiora and the Rangiora Promotions Association.

Each jumper this year received an acknowledgement and a sponsored gift to say thank you for being brave jumping, for fundraising and for making a difference.

Along with the jumping, we also enjoyed music from popular Christchurch band Black & Gold and the evening was MC'd by the talented team from Compass FM.

We are now delighted to announce, that for The Charles Upham Retirement Village Big Splash 2022 we raised....

$11,570.75

Well done to everyone involved, its very much a team effort. Its been a trickier year this year with Covid and economic challenges so to raise the amount above is absolutely fantastic!
