This year the club donated $3500 raised from the Ravenswood Cup to the Kiwanis Club of Bendigo.
Long-time member of the Motorcycle Club Dean Heather said the Cup had over 200 competitors, so it was easy to raise money.
In previous years the group has supported CFA groups, school programs and Vision Australia but it chose Kiwanis this year because of its work for disadvantaged children.
"We went to a Kiwanis Club meeting and they said they were indebted to the Motorcycle Club for the money they had raised," Mr Heather said.
He said the people needed to know that motorcyclists made positive contributions to the community.
"People associate motorbikes with thugs and hoons but it's all good people," he said.
The Kiwanis Club is a group of men who support those in need in the Bendigo region.
