Good health on St Patrick’s Day
This year celebrate St Patrick’s Day and contribute to improving our health services, at the Phillip Island Health Hub Race Day at the beautiful Woolamai Racecourse on March 17.
It will be an exciting day with Fashions on the Field, face painting, footy handball, a photo wall for selfies, music and raffles.
Organised by the incredible Phillip Island Health Hub Auxiliary, all money raised will go to the Phillip Island Community Hospital, due to open in late 2024.
This popular event, now in its fifth year, is proudly supported by Performance Property, The Big Wave Complex, Silverleaves Electrical, Cowes RSL and Bass Coast Health as well as the Woolamai and District Racing Club who donate $5 for every adult entry to the Hub Auxiliary.
Local artist David Taylor generously gave his time and expertise to design the beautiful flyer for the day.
