Cheerleaders entertained visitors to the Palatine School summer fair in Worthing, which was attended by the town's mayor, Eric Mardell.
The fair at the special needs school, which is threatened with closure, also had a dog show, food stalls, a coconut shy and barbecue.
Mr Mardell said: "I've had a wonderful day and have enjoyed spending my money. It's also good to see so many smiling faces."
The event raised more than £2,000, which will go towards trips and extra facilities for children at the school.
