On Tuesday, acting chairman of Bega Cheese Max Roberts presented Tulgeen with proceeds from the event totalling $200,000.
In accepting the donation, Tulgeen's chief executive officer Jen Russell said the money would go towards increasing supported accommodation services to people with disability.
"There is an urgent need to provide supported accommodation in the Bega Valley," she said.
"There is a lack of accessible, safe, secure and affordable accommodation and a 10-year wait list for social housing.
"People with disability need greater choice about where they live. They require access to support services so they can live independent lives and reach their goals.
"Tulgeen sees this as a priority and is appreciative that Bega Cheese shares and supports this view."
Ms Russell thanked Bega Cheese and all attendees of the fundraiser for their generosity.
