Organised by Coles Dubbo, the trivia night saw about 240 people take over the Dubbo RSL Memorial Club auditorium on Saturday for an "unreal" night with a good cause.
Coles Dubbo store manager said the night was part of the store's year-round fundraising initiative to give back to the OECI centre and staff.
"We've still got more fundraisers to go. There are stubby holders that we're selling for $8 a pop, we've got some raffles coming up as well so we usually present them a cheque in about December," Mr Grundy said.
"At this stage we've got around $13,000, still with a few months to go. I'd say we'll get around the $15,000, $16,000 mark for the year, so that'll be around $45,000 we've raised over the three years."
Brett Murray emceed the night, which drew attendees from as far afield as Katoomba, as well as Dubbo, Narromine and Wellington.
"In this store alone there's a few people who have children, or know of people who had kids who went through the centre itself, so it's about giving back," Mr Grundy said.
"Next year we want to get Narromine and Wellington (stores) involved so we can aim for well over the $20,000 mark."
