They took part in sponsored walks at the 18th Lions Festive Walk from Baddesley Clinton manor house on Tuesday.
More than £3,700 in donations were collected for Warwickshire and Northants Air Ambulance, Stroke Association, Dorridge & Knowle Scouts, and other local causes.
And it is hoped the total will exceed £6,000 when sponsorship cash is collected.
Organiser Ute Smith, of Knowle and Dorridge Lions, said: “After weeks of sub-zero temperatures and snow we were lucky to be able to enjoy the relative warmth of +2 degrees.
“It seems the overnight rise in temperatures brought people out of hibernation to blow away the cobwebs and walk off some of those calories added over Christmas.
“After 18 Festive Walks we have had every conceivable weather combination.
“We get lots of walkers who have joined us for many years bringing along their families and friends and it’s great to see so many people happy to donate generously to worthy causes.”
