And they will finally hand over the hard-earned $10,000 to Mission Australia on Monday, marking the end of a awareness and fundraising effort by the four mates.

But mother Debbie Klemke said they weren't done yet.

"Watch this space," she said.

Chayse Montgomery, 10, Ryan Klemke, 10, Ashton Scholz, 11, and Darcy Doughty, 11, started their CRAD (the first initials of their names) fundraiser after a visit to Melbourne last year "had a deep impact on them".

"It has been quite a tough 12 months but the boys, to their credit, have persisted with what they set out to do and I am just so proud of them," she said.

"They were so deeply impacted by all the homeless people in the city they decided they had to do something about it.

"And isn't it just remarkable what they have done.

"It has been so heartwarming to see them do this off their own back.

"This will round up this part of their fundraising efforts but they have plenty more ideas to keep the ball rolling and see what else they can achieve."

The Henty Public School students created a range of clothing with the CRAD logo on them which they sold to raise the money.

But their idea went beyond that with people wearing their merchandise right around the world.

"It created awareness for Mission Australia and homelessness as well," Ms Klemke said.

"People were wearing the t-shirts in Japan and the UK - it just goes to show what a little people power can do.

"And the support of the Riverina community, from Albury to Wagga, has just been incredible, especially over the last 12 months during the drought.

"People will still put their hands in their pockets for a cause even if they are struggling themselves."

The boys will hand over a giant cheque to a Mission Australia employee tomorrow at the Henty Bakery and Ms Klemke said some children from the Wagga mission will be there to receive the money.

"It makes it a bit personable and the boys can talk to the children who will benefit from their donation. It will be pretty special," she said.
