Over the last two rounds, the Hawks have donned special jerseys and auctioned them off after their matches to raise funds for the vital service.
The men wore them against Warialda before the women suited up against Armidale.
"I have never seen anything like it in any club I have been involved in," Hawks vice-president Brock Mathers said.
"It is a credit to the players, a credit to the committee and our sponsors. We had sponsors jump on board just for those specific jumpers.
"Our community is well and truly aware of how important the Westpac Rescue Helicopter is and they put their hands in their pockets and we are looking to hand over a cheque on Thursday for $14140."
