Edge Productions has teamed up with The Royal Hotel Corowa to run a day of entertainment including music, a jumping castle, auctions and a Mad Hatter Tea Party, for Tots2Teens.
Founder Joanne Knight said the fundraiser would be crucial to operations, which expanded to Wangaratta in January.
"The Tots2Teens program has been established in the Albury-Wodonga area for almost three years now," she said.
"With the success of the service due to high demand in referrals, we recognised the Wangaratta and surrounding areas require support too - we have offered all local support services to refer clients to us in need.

"We provide necessary items and support to children and youth in crisis, so they can feel a sense of independence during a time of great stress.
"We would like to enhance community and corporate awareness of the need to support vulnerable children in the region and their carers."
Ms Knight said the day would act as their annual fundraiser and they were grateful to Edge Productions for putting forward the idea.
"We were approached by Shell Britt and Riff Ferguson and they have collaborated with local musicians around the region," she said.
"We encourage surrounding towns to support the event."
Doing it for the Kids will run from midday on Saturday, September 29. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased via the Tots2Teens Facebook page, or on the day.
