THERE'S no doubt that the Dalby Diehards are a community-minded club.

After making a profit at their Ladies Day in June, the club made the decision to donate $500 to the family of Jayde Laine, a member of the local rugby league community who tragically passed away in May this year.

The 29-year-old left behind a loving wife, Karlie, and four children.

The couple had only been married for two months when Mr Laine died in a car crash on the Moonie Hwy.

The cheque was presented to Cindy Tzvetkoff, a friend of the Laine family, by club ambassador Courtney Harkins and president Tom Kelly on Saturday.

"I wasn't planning on making any profit on Ladies Day, I just wanted to thank the women of the club for everything they do for the boys,” she said.

"However, at the end of the night we had made a small profit so I spoke to Tom (Kelly), our president, about donating the profits to Jayde's family and he agreed to donate a portion of it.”

Following Mr Laine's passing, a gofundme page was created to help the family.

"Nothing can prepare you for the unexpected, especially when tragedy is the outcome,” it states.

"There is so much love and support we all have and want to give to the Laine family at this time but just don't know how.

"Hopefully this page can give them all a little bit of relief financially and to let Karlie know that we are here and thinking of her.”
