Gifts will be distributed by volunteers at a designated location in conjunction with Rotary after the Run. While all toys are accepted, it is important to remember that we cater for ages 0-18. Often teenagers get forgotten about, so gift cards are suitable and appreciated. Parents can be forgotten too, so assistance with bonbons, wrapping paper and general help to make Christmas great is awesome.Please remember we cannot accept toys that are wrapped. All toys go through a sorting process before they are given to children and families, wrapped toys makes this difficult. Disadvantaged children and families from Phillip Island, San Remo, Bass, Corinella, Coronet Bay, Grantville, Wonthaggi and Kilcunda regions will benefit from 100% of donations collected with Rotary's help.

On the day there will also be a market on the Esplanade with many stalls from food to crafts and live music. We have put a better Traffic Management Plan in place with appropriate road closures and plenty of bike parking to streamline this year's parking.

Hotel and the North Pier Hotel will also be open. The local CFA will be putting on a BBQ and there will be free facepainting for children, Santa and showbags. Rotary & volunteers will be collecting gifts in a designated location.There will be prizes on the day for Best Decorated Bike, Trike and much more..
