The Variety Postie Bike Dash will travel through regional NSW (4-9 November) aiming to raise more than $150,000 to help Aussie kids overcome barriers to reach their full potential.
St Nicholas Catholic School community will provide breakfast for the Dashers at the start line where the school will be presented with a grant for a 3D printer. The printer will be used by all the students, but especially for one student who has vision impairment. With teachers currently hand making models to help with the student’s learning, the 3D printer will significantly cut the time needed from hours to just minutes.

Along the way Bundarra Central School, West Glen Infants School, Nymboida Public School, Toormina Public School and Bullimbal School will also receive donations of equipment and resources to ensure the kids at these schools don’t miss out.
“The Variety Postie Bike Dash is a fun way for those with a sense of adventure to help give Aussie kids a fair go,” Variety – the Children’s Charity Head of Regional Development Jason Bourke said.
“We’ll be taking our biggest fleet ever through the back roads of country NSW, and using the funds raised by our Dashers to support kids in need.
“We’ll be granting kids at the schools visited vital resources such as computer coding equipment, 3D printers and sensory equipment which they might not otherwise have access to.”
“First National Real Estate are thrilled to sponsor the event again this year as it is an example of our local agencies commitment to help Aussie kids in need,” First National Real Estate CEO, Ray Ellis said.
