Did you know that this FREE community event, supported by Grants from Lottery West and The City of Melville, requires around 1000 hours of volunteer time, with 600 hrs given on the Festival day alone!
 
Applecross Rotary works in very closely with many community groups, who willingly give their support, and proceeds of the day are largely shared back with these groups.
 
Over the past 10 years, at least 25 such groups have shared directly in the distributions, totalling $100k, and a further $75k have been given elsewhere.
Over recent years the distributable profit has increased, meaning that more can be given back to our community.
 
Since 2010,  over $440k has been raised and distributed from the event, with much of this spent with local business that provides services to the Event.
 
What a truly wonderful means of not only giving our community a great day out, but also providing the helping financial hand that is so vital for community business and volunteer groups.
 
WHY NOT JOIN IN ........
 
Applecross Rotary is always seeking the involvement of those keen to give back to the world, and especially our own local community.
