About the Spin-a-thon

Organised by Proveda Foundation in partnership with Manly Business Chamber and ANTHEMCYCLE, the Spin-a-thon is a community fundraising event aimed to raise much-needed funds for youth mental health programs on the Northern Beaches.  

Youth mental health is a ‘wicked’ social problem with over 75% of mental health problems occurring before the age of 25. By participating in the event, you’ll help support local charities making a difference in the lives of our youth. 

2024 Update 

On 7 December 2024 we rode again for youth and raised over $18,000!  

With over 60 riders and over 150 donations, our participating charities, Empowering Parents in Crisis (EPIC), Harrison Riedel Foundation, KYDS Youth Counselling and Waves of Wellness (WOW) felt all the community love in Manly. 

Your donations empowered the above charities in the following ways: 

  • EPIC expanded peer parent outreach and crucial Youth Mental Health First Aid training. 
  • Harrison Riedel Foundation used donations to fund the free YourCrew App, and the YourCrew Classroom initiative. 
  • KYDS used donations to fund free counselling to vulnerable young people in more locations on the Northern Beaches. 
  • WOW used donations to fund the operational costs of their eight-week surf therapy programs.  

What's Next?

Our next Manly Spin-a-thon is coming your way in 2026!  

We are currently on the lookout for event sponsors.  

Has a youth in crisis touched your life? Are you able to provide financial sponsorship for our Manly Spin-a-Thon Ride for Youth event? If so, we’d love to have a conversation with you about how you can help and the benefits of a partnership with Proveda Foundation.

HOW DOES THE EVENT WORK?

This ride is all to the beat of the music in an outdoor non-competitive environment!
ANTHEMCYCLE will be setting up 27 stationary bikes outside their shop on the pedestrian section of Sydney Road, Manly
108 riders (4 per bike) will be needed to ride for 45 mins at whatever pace they please (the event is all about fun!)
Riders can be allocated to a bike by us (with 3 other people) or choose to create their own team of 4
You get to choose which charity your donation will benefit or if you like you can choose to support all of them!
Proceeds from the day will be donated to each charity based on their rider support base.

Donate to the cause

You don’t need to ride a bike to make a difference. The Spin-a-thon aims to raise crucial funds for youth mental health programs in our community. Every contribution helps support local charities working to make a difference.
