Brightwater Fire Sky Tower Challenge Team

05/07/2026

The Brightwater Fire Sky Tower Challenge Team would like to take the time acknowledge and thank everyone who helped us & supported us.

We honestly couldn’t not have done it without the community’s and wider community’s continued support. We are very chuffed to have raised $14,000 for Blood Cancer NZ.

Bring on 2027 sky tower climb on the 22nd of May.

Note this page will drop into hibernation like it did last year, but rest assured we will be back online late November 2026 when registration open for the team. 

Thank you all again and stay safe.

And the crew has finished!

Well done to all five guys who climbed the tower today. All that training has definitely paid off, with the awesome times you achieved. We’re super proud of all the effort you put in today, along with the incredible fundraising work you’ve done.

As a team, they have raised a grand total of $14,128 — such an amazing accomplishment. These funds are going to make a real difference and help so many people.

A huge well done as well to all the other teams who took on the climb today!
