Ovens and Murray Football Netball League general manager Craig Millar said despite the cold weather, the generosity of spectators and participating clubs was "amazing".
"I just couldn't believe the spirit of people arriving at venues," he said.
"When we said we were raising money for the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre, $10 donations, $20 donations, 50 cents, every cent added up to where we finished at the end."
In addition to money raised by the O and M League, general donations of $5500, including $5000 from Alpine Truss, were made to the campaign.
