2022 wash up
ENTER FOR 7 MAY 2023 NOW!
Following several questions from friends, family and our participants regarding what happens to the money raised from the fun run, We've put together the below "2022 wash up".
Rotary clubs are unique to many charitable organisations as their members pay annual membership fees. These membership fees cover the standard administration cost most charitable organisations have. While most charities, therefore, need to take a portion of their fundraising to cover these costs, we do not.
The Manly Fun Run is slightly different to most of our fundraising events. There are high costs directly attributed to organising such an event via our membership fees. However, through partnering with fantastic local organisations, we have nearly covered these costs and hope to do so in the future.
Money in:
Registrations: $41,783
Products (Medals, photos, donations etc): $4,983
Sponsors: $12,500 + plenty of in kind
Total: $59,266
Money out:
Event timing & Traffic management: $8,285
Marketing & Printing: $5,654
Sound & camera team: $2,314
Council applications: $635
Miscellaneous: $1,288
Total: $17,962
Net:
$41,304
Rotary savings:
Our Partners and members work hard to save on any cost we can. Some examples of what we paid less than a typical event:
Traffic equipment: $5,700 savings
Traffic Management: $3,292 savings
Marketing & printing: approx $1,180 savings
Council fees: $ 984 savings (Council grant awarded)
Police/traffic control: approx $3,500 savings
The above provides approx $14,656 in additional funds to use on projects for the community.
On the day we had 82 volunteers! without them, this would not have been possible. A huge thank you to all our volunteers!
Projects

Defibrillators on the Beaches
Every year, 30,000 Australians die from a sudden cardiac arrest - and with less than a 10 per cent survival rate without a defibrillator, the fitness fanatic is leading the charge for change.
Rotary Club of Manly is working with guy leech from heart180 to have defibrillator accessible to the public 24/7 at lifesaving clubs along the Northern Beaches (currently there are none along our beautiful beaches where so many young and old are exercising day in and day out!)
Police Legacy

The Rotary Club of Manly has supported NSW police legacy for over a decade and thank the police force for their assistance with the Manly Fun Run & Walk.
