Diving In for local health – A splash of support for Peninsula Health

Father’s Day at PARC was extra special this year – not just because of all the fun and family bonding, but also because we had the chance to give back to an important cause right here in our community!

We’re excited to announce that, thanks to everyone who enjoyed a splash at PARC on Father’s Day, we were able to donate $1,051 to Peninsula Health. That’s 20% of our casual pool entry fees from Sunday, 1st September 2024, are going straight toward helping support local prostate cancer services through Peninsula Health.

This donation will help Peninsula Health in acquiring essential equipment for the early detection of prostate cancer, giving our local dads (and all men!) the best possible chance at early diagnosis and better health outcomes.

It’s partnerships like these that really show what we can achieve when we come together as a community. We’re so proud to be able to contribute and work alongside Peninsula Health to make a difference in people’s lives.

Thank you to everyone who visited us on Father’s Day – your swim made a splash in more ways than one!

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to support local initiatives that benefit the Frankston community.

Learn to Save a Life: Restart a Heart Day at PARC ❤️

Join us on Saturday, October 12th, for Restart a Heart Day, a vital community event that raises awareness about cardiac arrest and empowers people with lifesaving CPR skills. Hosted by Monash University, this event will bring together children, adults, and healthcare professionals to help build a safer, more prepared community.
 
Did you know that only 1 in 10 people survive a cardiac arrest? Most cardiac arrests happen in the home, so learning how to act fast could save the life of someone you love. Restart a Heart day will teach you how to respond in just three simple steps: CALL, PUSH, SHOCK.
 
Drop by PARC on Saturday morning between 9am – 11am to learn from paramedics and paramedic students, who will be on hand to guide you through these critical steps and boost your confidence in delivering CPR. Every minute counts when restarting a heart – let’s work together to improve survival rates!
