BENDIGO Health's emergency department has received a boost, with a $9249 donation from Grill'd.
The contribution was part of the eatery's Community Matters campaign, which saw $5 from the sale of every burger, steak sandwich or salad donated to one of three organisations.
The Otis Foundation and Bendigo SES received $6000 each.
Franchisee Richard Nash said the result was great, with the three-day fundraiser kicking off on Friday.
"It was a really great result considering there was so much on at the weekend. It really showed that Bendigo can come out and support these organisations," he said.
"We had a lot of corporate support on Friday which was terrific too."
Mr Nash also praised the efforts of his employees, who were run off their feet.
"These guys were working twice as hard for twice as long. They were phenomenal," he said.
Mr Nash said the Bendigo business had raised more than $100,000 through community fundraisers over the past four years. "That's something we are really proud of," he said.
