In March last year, the support group for the hospice organised a balloon race to raise money, while a 50-kilometre bike ride also took place to generate funds.
Bury Hospice provides nursing care and medical assistance to local people with life-threatening or terminal illnesses.
Last month, a group of fundraisers from East Sussex organised a 12-hour 'poker marathon' to generate cash for the Intensive Trauma Unit at Conquest Hospital in Bexhill, the Rye & Battle Observer reports.
The group are aiming to raise £75,000 through similar activities by next Christmas.
