Crowned Judges Choice, the pair were one of nine acts to take the stage for a 'Stars of the Sapphire City Dance for Cancer' fundraising event at the RSM Club.

The night was sold out as organisers dropped ticket prices in the week leading up to the event, acknowledging drought conditions were taking a hold for many in the community.

Cancer Council NSW community relations coordinator Tracey Cullen said performers shined just like stars.

"One couple said Friday night was their best performance since learning their routine which is exactly what you want!"

Ticket holders enjoyed watching stars perform whilst taking full advantage of the amazing grazing table and dessert table put together by Ryan Kent and his team at the RSM.

Tracey said combined with the night's auction and People's Choice (voted by dollars) the first estimate of total fundraising was around $26,000.

"Although as the week goes on I'm getting closer to $30,000 in total. People have really dug deep during these tough times and I want to thank the community and businesses for supporting our stars," she said.

Nine jars were set up on the night to encourage crowd members to vote for their favourite act with money.

Josh Stewart and Amy Higgins managed to have the highest amount of money in their jar taking out People's Choice.

The final award of the competition went to Will Mann who was the Highest Fundraiser.

For the honour, Will parted with his luscious golden locks during a fundraising head shave after Ladies Day at Rugby Park prior to Friday.

"The Inverell Highlanders presented a cheque for $10,000 to Cancer Council NSW on Friday as part of their Ladies Day fundraiser.

"They also donated two jerseys for the auction which raise $3000 and they had plenty of supporters in the crowd. I must thank them for such support."

All money raised from the event will assist Inverell residents who travel to Tamworth for cancer treatment, providing free accommodation and to some a "home away from home".

Guest speaker Abby McGregor shared her story of having family members dealing with cancer treatment and travel costs involved.

One family member was burdened financially when seeking treatment at Brisbane.

"Another family member went to Tamworth and Abby was saying just the comfort of knowing they could visit and there was no financial burden for accommodation was a huge relief during such a hard time.

"We are lucky to have such a service in Tamworth and this funding will ensure we can continue to provide that."

Cancer Council NSW also offer cleaning assistance, and financial and legal advice to cancer patients.

"Our 13 11 20 number has professionals available to speak Monday to Friday and our website is great and easy to use. There are a lot of podcasts that speak about topic you may not feel comfortable to discuss with other people."
