Drysdale was left a quadriplegic at 20 years old following a wayward tackle while playing for the Cabramatta Two Blues in a Ron Massey Cup Match in June 2015.
The 31-year-old, who suffered a devastating spinal injury, is being remembered as “an inspiration”.
The money went towards a house equipped with a specially modified kitchen and an apparatus to help Kurt get in and out of bed, among other facilities.
Drysdale died following a two-week battle with pneumonia.
