Our Goal – BIKES FOR 3 NEW SCHOOLS DURING THE MONTH OF FEBURARY!
Kids simply love to ride bikes. We would like every school in the country to have bikes.
During the month of March, we’ve set a challenge to our RH All Stars to raise $30,000.00 so we can buy bikes (100) for schools in Whangarei, Lower Hutt and Christchurch. These bikes will be used at lunchtime and are also part of the P.E program.
Our cyclists will ride 5,000 vertical meters over 3 consecutive days. Quite the challenge but all for a good cause. This will be the 25th time we’ve run this challenge. Hundreds of like-minded cyclists have already helped us buy well over 1200 bikes throughout New Zealand.
Getting kids engaged in physical outdoor activities is important. The health and well-being benefits are huge, especially for young kids who don’t necessarily have the same opportunities as you or I did when we were at school.
Thank you – Karl from Ride Holidays
Amount raised so far: $1,100 (Goal is $30,000)

If you would like to support us, but don't have a rider to sponsor, for $300 you can purchase a bike and helmet for a kid in need (remember you can claim your tax back).

How it works
|
Cyclists sign up as a rider. Each cyclist is given a profile to promote and collect sponsors. |
|
Sponsors pledge their support. All donations (from within NZ) are tax deductible. |
|
All you need to do is climb 5000vm over three consecutive days (01-31 March 2025). |
 |
We reach our goal of raising $30,000.00 which allows us to support 3 schools with new bikes. St Bernadettes in Naenae, Otangarei Primary in Whangarei and another low decile school in Christchurch.

Sponsors
Sponsors, you will receive an email with instructions on how to pay your sponsored amount. You can choose to pay before or after your sponsored team has achieved their goal. Payment will be made via our Charity's Givealittle page. Donations over $5 are eligible for a NZ charitable giving tax receipt. Taka Trust (Ride Holidays official charity partner) is a registered charity number CC52630. Any questions, please contact us.
We are always looking for new groups to take up the challenge.
You can even pick the school. The more kids on bikes, the better.
