Manchester Bike Nonprofit Teams With Revo Casino For 10-Day Charitable Gaming Event

MANCHESTER, NH — Queen City Bicycle Collective is partnering with Revo Casino and Social House in Manchester for a charitable gaming event running through April 10, according to an announcement from the organization.

The proceeds will support programs aimed at expanding safe, affordable access to bicycles in Manchester.

Queen City Bicycle Collective said the funding will go toward its core programs, including the Open Shop and Affordable Bike program. The org said the programs provide low-cost repairs, refurbished bicycles, and hands-on learning for community members.

The organization also said the charitable gaming proceeds will support voucher-based programs that provide free or low-cost bicycles, helmets, locks, and lights to people in need, including youth and residents who are transportation-insecure. Additional funding will help support outreach efforts such as group rides, events, bike valet services, and maintenance of public repair stations across Manchester, according to the announcement.

As part of the event, Queen City Bicycle Collective will host a bike drive at the casino from noon to 6 p.m. on Friday, April 3, and Saturday, April 4. The organization is encouraging community members to donate used bicycles to support its programs.

“Charitable gaming is a meaningful piece of how we keep this work going,” Tyler Glodt, executive director of Queen City Bicycle Collective, said. “It helps us put more bikes on the road, keep repairs affordable, and make sure people can rely on their bikes to get where they need to go.”

Queen City Bicycle Collective said it works to help Manchester residents ride bicycles safely and affordably through hands-on programs and community initiatives. The work is intended to expand access to transportation, promote healthy activity and strengthen community connections.

Community members are being encouraged to visit Revo Casino and Social House in Manchester to support the organization and its cycling programs.
