Bravehearts Mid North Coast chairperson Jenny Watts said the donation was phenomenal.
She said the community support of Bravehearts was unbelievable.
Bravehearts provides child protection training and education initiatives, specialist child sexual assault counselling and support services, as well as research and reform campaigns to work holistically to prevent child sexual assault.
An education team will bring the Ditto Keep Safe Adventure Show to the Hastings in August.
Some 1600 children from Port Macquarie to Laurieton, Wauchope, Comboyne and Herons Creek will see the show and learn valuable lessons to help keep them safe.
Mrs Watts said the show provided children with skills on how to protect themselves from child sexual assault.
Port Macquarie Private Hospital chief executive officer Connie Porter said Braveheart's work was really important and valuable in our community.
She said they chose Bravehearts for the donation because of increased awareness over the William Tyrrell case and Braveheart's child protection work.
The Port Macquarie Private Hospital donation was raised through ticket sales from the hospital's 40th birthday celebration.
Meanwhile, Bravehearts Mid North Coast will stage a fundraising trivia night on September 14 at Panthers Port Macquarie.
Tickets are $10 each.
