The Harbour2Vine Cycle Classic reached an amazing milestone in 2023, celebrating 15 years of raising funds for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service.

During these 15 years, the passion and commitment to this event by both the riders and the Schwartz Family Company has raised over $150,000 for the Rescue Helicopter.

“The cycle classic gives both local residents and visitors the opportunity to participate in an inspiring cycle race, while raising money for an outstanding charity,” said Dr Schwartz.

Dr Schwartz and Event Coordinator Lisa Doppler recently visited our Broadmeadow headquarters to see how the work of Harbour2Vine has benefited the Rescue Helicopter.

“With the past year having more than its fair share of emergencies, people really appreciate and support the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, and the monies raised from Harbour2Vine will go specifically towards funding a Geo Simulator at their Belmont base to assist with training of pilots,” said Dr Schwartz.

“I’d like to thank all the sponsors, our hotels and of course all the regular and new riders who contributed to such a worthy cause,” Dr Schwartz concluded.

Bigger and better than ever, 2024 features exciting changes to the cycle classic with a new route now available.
