2023 wash up
ENTER FOR 2024 NOW!
Following the success of the 2022 "wash up" below is the 2023 summary of what happens to the money raised from the fun run & walk.
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 and products: $62,230
Money out:
Event timing & Traffic management: $7,999
Marketing & Printing: $4,068
Council applications: $3,843
Medals: $6,262
Total: $22,172

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: $6,300 savings
Traffic Management: $3,292 savings
Marketing & printing: approx $1,180 savings
Police/traffic control: approx $3,500 savings
The above provides approx $14,272 in additional funds to use on projects for the community.
On the day we had 85 volunteers! without them, this would not have been possible. A huge thank you to all our volunteers!

Rotary Club of Manly raises funds to distribute to local causes
The Rotary Club of Manly has recently distributed over $40,000 to local charities. The club works hard during the year to raise funds that enables us to support a range of local and overseas charities. Our major fundraising activity is the Fun Run and Walk. This year the Fun Run was held on Sunday May 7 and was a great success. We had 1301 participants run in either the 10km up to North Head and back, or the 5km half way up the hill or the 2km beach front run. The Rotary Club of Manly volunteers managed the event along with the help of local partners and schools.
In all the event raised $63,561 – 36% more than that raised in 2022.
