A tribute night was held on 16th June 2012 for the family of ACAPnsw member and SCAT Paramedic Mick Wilson, who tragically died whilst performing a dangerous winch rescue on Christmas Eve last year. The event was organised by friends and work colleagues of the well respected and much loved officer, to be “a feel good party and benefit night to celebrate the life of Mick Wilson SCAT Paramedic, and to help his family“. All proceeds raised at the event will go directly to his wife Kellie and their young children. The event was a raging success with the venue at capacity, a sellout months in advance. Hundreds of items were auctioned and raffled, raising thousands for the young family. It was announced at the event that ACAPnsw is working with the Wilson family to create a perpetual award that will be named in Mick’s honour, to be presented annually from 2013. Details of the award will be released soon. ACAPnsw congratulates the organising committee on a very well organised event.
