Hamish Cook was seriously injured following an accident in the water at Crescent Head in January.
He was pulled from the water by his friends before paramedics were called to the scene at Little Nobby.
Cook was conscious when ambulance crews arrived and was winched to safety by the Westpac Rescue Helicopter before being transported to Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital in a serious but stable condition.
The Crescent Head Country Club and the community have rallied together in support of the family, with more fundraising events planned throughout the coming months.
