More than $100,000 has been raised for the Blair Vining Sports Foundation.
The money was collected from a black tie event auction and collections during the Blair Vining Bucket List rugby game in Winton last Saturday.
It was held for Midlands Rugby Club games record-holder Blair Vining, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year.
