Students Tyra and Baden Maloney's father, Brendan is battling cancer.
To support the family and raise money, last year the group #TEAMBRENDANM was formed.
Earlier this week more than 100 Old Bar Public School students purchased and wore a special '#TEAMBRENDANM' t-shirt to school.
"The kids were so excited," Julie Tickle, committee member of #TEAMBRENDANM said.
"We actually sold out of kids shirts. We had to sell some students "too large" tees which they will swap next Tuesday when we get more in stock. The t-shirts are sold to raise money for the family's ongoing financial costs.
"Every Tuesday we are doing #TEAMBRENDANMTUESDAY," Julie explained.
"People can upload photos of themselves wearing the tees or supporting in other ways to our Facebook page or Instagram at #TEAMBRENDANMTUESDAY."
The Old Bar community and surrounding areas will further get behind the family on August 8 with an auction night at Club Old Bar from 7pm.
Andy Saunders will be the MC on the night, and #TEAMBRENDANM are currently seeking seeking donations of good or services from local businesses to auction on the night.
Donations can be pledged via a message on their Facebook page 'Teambrendanm'.
The t-shirts are $15 for kids and $25 for adults and are available at Edstein Creative Stone or The Bird Tree in Old Bar. They will also be sold at Old Bar Public School on Tuesday June 2 between 8.30am and 9am.
