The Red BasketBall event was a slam dunk with $4000 raised for supporting the girls basketball, $20,000 to support our education consultant position, 500 sweet treats eaten by hundreds of people attending our first event. But for me my fav moments of the day were seeing the U18 boys and girls squads stepping up to help out others, the spirit of sport award and maybe my absolute fav moment when one of the U16 squad boys gave up his spot in the final of the free throw comp so someone else could have a go. Fittingly he went on to win the 3 point comp up against the u18 boys. And then there was the half court shot. Archer stole the $500 from his big brother with the shot of the day!!! We went home exhausted but with our hearts full. Full from seeing three generations of a family sitting in the stands. Full from so many moments of seeing people from all different parts of our community come together for a great day out. See you again next year!!

We wouldn’t be here without the hundreds of volunteer hours that have gone into building our community organisation. I remember one moment when a volunteer was helping us assemble furniture for our student accommodation and also slowed down to take the time to teach my daughter how to use a drill all while listening to her sing the entire song list from Hamilton. The volunteer was unwavering in her attention and enthusiasm and as a result my daughter still talks about this day. Volunteering fosters a sense of community and belonging. Thank you to all of the volunteers in our community. ❤️

THANKFUL THURSDAY 🙏
'Thank you to all the incredible volunteers including our consumer representatives. You’re an essential part of our health service and we’re truly grateful for everything you do.' - Hannah Jennings, Volunteer Coordinator

Congratulations Ararat! Unbeknown to us we were nominated by a local resident for this prestigious award.

Australian of the Year Awards

Then lo and behold we have made it to the top 4 in the state!

This nomination is for all of the many working parts that make up our community organisation. One Red Tree has always been about community and we have been privileged to be in a position where the community has believed in our idea and supported us to put it into action.

Every day we are amazed by the generosity of our community giving their time and resources to support our vision.

And we are also thrilled to announce that in partnership with Ararat Fitness Centre, Ararat Rural City Council and the Ararat Basketball Association Inc. last weekend we raised a whopping

$4000!!!

To go towards the purchase of new uniforms for the girls basketball.
Thanks to all of our sponsors and to RWE who awarded us a significant grant to continue employing an education consultant for our programs.

ORT is a community in action.

What a day!!!! Thanks to all of the volunteers, kids and parents the first red basket ball was a bigger success than we ever imagined!!! We’ll get back to you with the amount of money we raised but the girls are most definitely getting their new jerseys!! But for us the biggest success was seeing our community come together. Big kids helping little kids. Local produce. Belly laughs. New friendships. Our hearts are more than full.
