People in Inkber-row, Studley and Redditch have raised £5,000 from a variety of sponsored events, while engineering company GKN, supermarket giant J Sainsbury and specialists Norwood Partition Systems Ltd have donated £6,000.
A swimathon, cheese and wine evening, and "tough guy challenge" are just a few activities townsfolk have been busy staging, and proceeds will go to the Primrose Hospice and Cancer Help Centre.
