The Namdhari Sikh Sangat community laid on a spread of sweets and savouries, including samosa, pakoras and cakes at their Leicester temple in Spinney Hills. There were also games, face painting, henna tattoss and a raffle.
Sukhdev Roopra, Kiran Toor and other organisers said members of the community had received invaluable support from Macmillan and they wanted to give something back.
A spokeswoman told the Leicester Mercury: "The turnout was fantastic. It was busy from start to finish and it was great to see people from so many different faiths coming together and aiding the cause."
In total, Namdhari Sikh Sangat community members raised more than £6,500 at gurdwara around the country.
