Celebrating the Success of the Manly Fun Run: A Legacy of Giving Back

At The Upper Room, we’re all about fostering community, connection, and impact - and today, we’re highlighting one of our incredible full-time members, Mike, who has truly embodied these values through his work with the Manly Fun Run. This year’s event was nothing short of spectacular, raising a total of $91,000 for charity!

Mike has been the heart and soul of the Manly Fun Run, and this year’s event marked a significant milestone, as it was his final year as the event director. And what a way to go out! Mike and his team orchestrated an event that not only brought the local community together for a day of fun and fitness but also made an incredible impact for those in need. Here’s how the numbers stacked up:

  • 💵 Registration Revenue: $64,000

  • 💸 Expenses: $24,000 (the bits we couldn’t source for free!)

  • 🌱 Grassrootz Fundraising: $16,000

  • 🤝 Extra Donations & Partner Contributions: $35,000

  • 🎉 Total Raised for Charity: $91,000

It’s no surprise that Mike’s leadership and dedication resulted in such a remarkable outcome. From the volunteers who helped bring the event to life to the runners pushing themselves to the finish line, everyone played a part in making this day a massive success.

Mike has been an inspiring force behind the Manly Fun Run for years, and this year’s charity tally speaks volumes about the community’s support.

We’re so proud to have Mike as part of our The Upper Room community. His passion for giving back and his ability to bring people together is exactly the kind of energy we love to see in our space. Mike, thank you for your years of leadership, dedication, and positive impact. You’re a true champ!
