This project is a fundraiser under management by the Rotary Club of Tauranga Sunrise. All profits made will be used to fund charitable projects supported by our Club, so we thank you for your support.
Our History
In 2015, our incoming President saw the capsule keyrings on a tradesite at the Hamilton Homeshow (with the site manned by the visionaries for this project, John Dentice, Jill O’Sullivan and Brian Rickard from Palmerston North). With his interest piqued, he approached the Palmerston North trio to enquire about adopting the sale of the capsules as a fundraiser. Three months later, the rights for New Zealand were transferred to Tauranga Sunrise Rotary Club and as they say, the rest is history. To date, thousands of dollars have been raised from this venture, and over 70 lives have been reported to have been saved as a result. Hats off to you John, Jill and Brian – and to all the members of the Rotary Club who have thrown their energy into this project.
Our Mission
Our mission is that every New Zealand adult will carry a Savealife capsule so they are ready to assist when faced with a heart attack emergency.
