Members will be rattling tins for their chosen charity, which this year benefits the Ballarat White Ribbon Day Committee. Money raised will be to promote White Ribbon’s Breaking the Silence campaign in schools.
The Red Dress Run is open to the public, starting at Miners Tavern, 2.30pm. Hash Hares are also planning trails to showcase Ballarat with about 700 Hashers in action.
