The final proceeds of Forbes Country Music Club will benefit local cancer patients through Forbes CanAssist.
The club wrapped up after one last muster in October 2024, and the last serving committee members have now completed selling or donating all of their equipment and items.
This month, president Wendy Dixon handed the proceeds of $13,330.75 to CanAssist.
CanAssist's John Shrader said the organisation was incredibly grateful.
"We can't hope to raise the money we need so we are absolutely dependent on donations," he said.
