About 90 people attended the 20th anniversary Club's Long Lunch at Brother Fox Cafe on Sunday.
Daybreak club president Liza McCosh said the money raised from the event would be donated to South West Healthcare for their paediatric equipment appeal.
"In 2019 we raised nearly $9000 and split the money between the Warrnambool Special Development School and South West Healthcare," she said.
"This year we decided to donate all of the funds to the hospital."
South West Healthcare CEO Craig Fraser said the hospital was working to purchase two new pieces of paediatric equipment to help with taking MRI scans of children.
"Children have trouble staying still during an MRI scan," Mr Fraser said.
"The first piece of equipment is a specialised anaesthetics device which will help relax children for scans and the other is a specialised media player to distract the children."
Rotary Club member Mel Patel also donated $3500 to the hospital appeal on behalf of Specsavers, and Roni Patel donated $500 on behalf of dairy giant Saputo.
