Southern Youth Development (syd) annual fundraiser, Friday May 23rd 2025
For the past 10 years, Southern Youth Development has hosted an annual fundraiser, inviting local business and community leaders to raise funds by abseiling 35 metres from the upper service gantry in the Speights Stand at the Forsyth Barr Stadium, to the pitch below. The money raised from the event goes towards supporting rangatahi over a range of services in Dunedin, Clutha and Waitaki areas.
In the past people have nominated their boss to be tossed, but this year syd encouraged the community to nominate young people, youth advocates, and ANYONE with a passion for rangatahi, to step up to the challenge!
On what will be the 11th annual syd fundraiser, our Year 7 and 8 Dean Mr McLellan, and Year 8 student Lucas Choie have bravely stepped up to the challenge, and they would be grateful for your support.
