“We are delighted to introduce the newly strengthened Newport Community Festival as a platform to celebrate the incredible spirit and diversity of our community,” says Michaela Visser, the President of Rotary Club President of the Upper Northern Beaches.
“In collaborating with the Warringah Rotary Club, our hope is that this festival becomes an annual Rotary tradition, fostering a strong sense of family, friendship, unity and camaraderie within the entire Northern Beaches,” she said.
The Beach2Beach Fun Run and Newport Community Festival is made possible through the generous support of Rotary, local sponsors, volunteers, businesses and community members and groups such as Life Saving Clubs, SES, and RFS Scouts. Because our sponsors cover event costs, all entry fees are returned to these organisations and selected charities. As well, runners raise much-needed money for their own charities and organisations.
