The money is to be split equally between the Cloncurry Hospital Auxiliary and the North West Breast Cancer Support Group.
About 200 guests attended the ball.
Cloncurry Spring Ball committee member Shannon Kelly said the response from the community and local businesses was “absolutely overwhelming”.
“We have been blown away with the support we’ve received, from the financial sponsorship to the prize donations, but most importantly by the community getting behind this event and purchasing tickets,” Ms Kelly said.
“The Committee will now take a final tally of the money raised before we formally present the groups with the donation.”
Sponsor K&R Contracting owner Kevin Wehrman said the event was wonderful, and the company anticipated next year’s event which would raise needed funds for families affected by cancer.
