RIVAL polocrosse players united as one big family at the Rose Bowl at Morgan Park on Saturday night for the Hands Up for Help auction and raffle to raise much-needed funds for Alex Rowe's leukemia treatment.

The support was overwhelming as the crowd gathered in the Warwick Polocrosse clubhouse.

Tansey Polocrosse Club president Justin Hafey auctioned 14 items which raised a staggering $21,470.

Event organiser Naomi Strong said considering she only had two weeks to put it together she was more than pleased with the result.

"A big thank you goes to all the generous people who donated the bidding items and those who dug deep during the auction," she said.

"The highest item went for $6500 and was an embryo from Percussion, who recently won the champion mare at the Darwin Nationals."

The raffle was also successful and raised a whopping $9400.

All money raised will go a long way in assisting the Rowe family's expenses for the new experimental treatment for Mrs Rowe in her battle against leukemia.

Becoming resistant to chemo, she is the first person in Australia to trial gene therapy which comes at a $9000-a-month cost.

Unfortunately Mrs Rowe was unable to attend the fundraiser but did not miss out completely, as she had a bird's eye view of the action from her bed at Greenslopes Hospital via Skype.

Mrs Rowe watched in high spirits with a huge smile on her face as the bids kept rolling in.

"It's so amazing to see so much support from the polocrosse community," she said.

"I really didn't expect it but appreciate it so much."

Mrs Rowe's husband Terrance Rowe also made a heartfelt speech on completion of the auction and expressed his gratitude to all involved.

"Thank you to everyone, including the Warwick Polocrosse Club, who have allowed us to hold the fundraiser here," he said.

"This has been such a humbling experience and if we can ever help anyone, please let us know."

Mrs Rowe has had an instant positive reaction to the new gene therapy treatment and the overall prognosis is promising.

Thanks to the generosity and compassion of the polocrosse community the Rowe family can now afford a few more months of treatment for Alex.
