syd annual fundraiser 2025

2025 is the 11th year of our annual fundraiser, Toss the Boss. 

This year we're inviting anyone with a passion for supporting rangatahi success to take part.

Southern Youth Development is a Youth Not for Profit organisation and the money raised will go toward supporting rangatahi over a range of services in Dunedin, Clutha and Waitaki areas.

For the past 10 years, Southern Youth Development (formerly Malcam Trust) 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. 

In the past people have nominated their boss to be tossed, but, we have decided it is time to spice it up! 

We are encouraging the community to nominate young people, youth advocates, and ANYONE with a passion for rangatahi, to step up to the challenge! 

"The event, marketing support and promo of individuals was awesome. Apart from being terrified of heights, the event and everything that was involved was well done. The syd team were super supportive. Well done to everyone involved in organising the event."

syd annual fundraiser 2025!

In the past people have nominated their boss to be tossed, but, we have decided it is time to spice it up! 

Perhaps you have a young employee who would love the opportunity to abseil? Raise funds for them to do so! Or maybe your co-worker talks a big game in the old fear department so you challenge them to raise funds and do the 35 metre abseil to prove they are as fearless as they say they are! 

Bosses, you can still raise funds and jump, or this time you can pass on your spot by sponsoring one (or more) of your team members (I am sure it’ll make you the best boss ever).
