The annual SYD fundraiser, Toss the Boss, isn’t just a daring stunt — it’s a lifeline. This exciting event sees local leaders, businesspeople, and everyday legends face their fears by abseiling off Forsyth Barr Stadium, all in the name of supporting our Rangatahi (youth).
What makes this event truly powerful is the impact behind the adrenaline: every dollar raised goes directly to SYD’s youth learning program — a vital initiative that empowers young people to build brighter futures, reconnect with education, develop life skills, and grow in a safe, supportive environment.
And here’s the honest truth:
Without the funds raised through Toss the Boss, this program simply couldn’t survive.
There is no backup budget. No safety net. This event is the backbone of our ability to run the program year after year.
Your support helps SYD:
Provide a safe space for youth facing challenges
Deliver mentorship and life-skills training
Work closely with services like Youth Court to offer alternative, restorative pathways
Inspire hope, confidence, and purpose in our young people
Toss the Boss proves that when a community comes together — even to do something as wild as jumping off a stadium — we can lift up our youth and invest in a stronger, more hopeful future.
