THE BIRTH TREE PROJECT
Registrations open, Unveiling Ceremony is in March – please check https://www.facebook.com/birthtree for latest information. Unveiling will be for the previous calendar year.
Commemorate birth with a living monument
Rotary Peninsula 2.0 will plant one tree each year at Montague Park to commemorate the birth of children born in the Frankston community. A plaque with the name and birth date of each registered child will be placed at the base of the tree, with an Unveiling Ceremony each year.
The Fun Run is run by volunteers with 100% of money raised going back into the community.
2Km Childrens Run, 5 & 10Km Run, 5Km Walk. Family prices available.
We have now introduced a TEAM award – based on the number of Km your whole team contributes so even those doing the 2Km will add to your score.
