Spin 4 Kids consisted of over 50 riders at a time pedalling on exercise bikes for 12 hours, live entertainment, a Hallway of Achievement, silent auction, and plenty of refreshments. This event is put together mostly by students. From 2005 to 2008 the event raised over $18,000 for the RVH Cancer Care Centre, and approximately $68,000 for Nantyr's sports teams and clubs. The event is no longer run.
