BB300 SUPPORTS YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH 20TALK
At ToyBox Australia, we’re proud to champion initiatives that create real impact — and the Bunker Bay 300 Classic is no exception. This Ultimate Corporate Bike Monument Challenge pushes corporates and senior executives to ride 300km in a single day, not just for the love of cycling, but to raise vital funds for mental health support and suicide awareness in WA.
Thanks to the incredible support of riders and donors, ToyBox Australia funded a $50,000 grant to 20Talk — a youth-led mental health awareness charity born from lived experience and dedicated to reshaping how young Australians engage with their mental health.
Here’s how 20Talk used that funding to create powerful change:
South West Men’s Retreat
September 10th, 2024
Held at Premalaya Yallingup, this retreat brought together 20 men for a day of healing and connection. Through yoga, breathwork, self-reflection and ice baths, participants explored new ways to support their mental wellbeing and build resilience.
Mental Health Maintenance School Presentations
October 16th, 2024
20Talk visited four schools across WA’s South West, delivering one-hour wellbeing sessions to over 250 students. These presentations provided tools and knowledge to help young people better understand and maintain their mental health.
Schools visited: Georgia Mallory, Bunbury Baptist College, Margaret River High
Chasing Calm: A Documentary for High Schools
Launched February 20th, 2025
With the help of ToyBox funding, 20Talk developed Chasing Calm, a powerful 25-minute documentary addressing the growing anxiety crisis among young people. By following the stories of two adolescents and a mental health researcher, the film offers deep insight and a hopeful message. It’s set to roll out in 15 schools across the South West and Perth Metro region.

The impact of this partnership is just the beginning. With every kilometre ridden and every dollar raised, the Bunker Bay 300 Classic is helping to build a healthier, more connected future for young Australians. Together, we’re creating lasting change — on and off the bike.
