It was Tonkin's first 'Movember' fundraiser, and owner James Tonkin said they ticked over the $10,000 mark on Thursday.
"We do a breakfast once a week and invite people to that, plus with happy hours, that's raised some money," he said.
"We had a lot of donations come through on social media and we've also sold Movember hats.
"Everyone's really embraced it - it's been good for all of us to be part of a good cause."
Shane Cooke of Yackandandah was the leading contributor.
"I've raised close to $2300, mostly through family and friends," he said.
"I learned a lot about the cause; that it's not just one thing, but men's health, mental health, and also prostate cancer which is a big killer."
The majority of the Tonkin team got on board, and many razors will be put to good use when December 1 comes around.
