Christmas cheer at Lifestyle Ocean Grove

Emergency services at Lifestyle's tree trimming.

It’s not every day you wake up to pine trees surrounding your home, but at Lifestyle Ocean Grove, the benefit of having exactly that has started an annual tree trimming tradition for the community.

Lifestyle Ocean Grove was filled with entertainment and the festivities brought everyone together. The sausage sizzle cooking in the background smelled divine whilst the homeowners and guests played pickleball and croquet, did water aerobics in the indoor pool and even participated in a sandbag throwing competition. The community was as lively as ever.

With over 95 homeowners and their guests in attendance, including the local CFA, police and ambulance services, the day wasn’t just about decorating the tree for Christmas, but a chance to come together to fundraise for a cause close to the hearts of the homeowners and Lifestyle Communities.

The overflowing amount of support on the day raised a total of $591.70 for the Andrew Love Cancer Centre in Geelong. Not only that, but through the generosity of the Lifestyle Foundation, any amount of money raised towards a cancer-based charity will be matched dollar for dollar, taking the total donations to $1183.40.

If you’re in the area, pop in and see the Christmas tree at Lifestyle Ocean Grove for yourself at 60 Gambier Street, Ocean Grove. Or call Lifestyle Communities on 1300 50 55 60 to discover how you can live bigger for less.
