Club employee Jen Harris was the recipient of the money raised in 2020, she said the cause for this year hasn't been decided on yet but it will be a Katherine local.
Ms Harris said a cause or charity had not been chosen yet because the two options chosen by the club committee were recently funded, however she said a new decision isn't far away.
"They've got a few that they're looking at."
She said she could not name the possible recipients due to privacy concerns.
Ms Harris said she received the money last year due to a battle with cancer.
"I had blood cancer... I was sent away to Adelaide having a stem cell transplant," she said.
"[The money] helped me financially get back on my feet."
She said a year on from the ordeal she's in a much healthier stage of her life.
"Yeah good now, it's been a year I'm feeling good and the doctors are positive."
Ms Harris said she is currently cancer free.
The food was cheap which brought a crowd in and money was also raised via a raffle, which is still open for entry if people fancy a crack at winning the television on offer.
Ms Harris said money raised from the breakfast is still being counted.
"They're still selling raffle tickets for the big TV," she said.
The event was well attended by various groups and families from the town including the Katherine Motor Vehicle Enthusiast Club.
