The Old Scotch volunteer and Launceston Church Grammar School pupil raised more than $1500 for disability sport and recreation organisation New Horizons.
Harry said when he realised New Horizons was experiencing financial strain, he was determined to help how he could.
"I overheard that the New Horizons funding had been cut," he said.
"Because Old Scotch do a lot of work with New Horizons and I've been an Old Scotch since I was literally zero, I just couldn't imagine that someone wouldn't be able to play football because of something they were born with."

Harry raised the money through a grade 6 project where he needed to use $5 to raise as much money as possible.
He did this through a reverse raffle, and presented the cheque to New Horizons on Saturday.
"From the start of the year I've always wanted to do something about it so now I've finally been able to - I'm really excited about it," Harry said.
Harry's father Sam Tucker said he couldn't be prouder of his son.
"He's blown us away," Mr Tucker said.
"Every Saturday morning Harry gets up to help with Little Athletics in the summer and every Sunday morning he comes down to set up for East Launceston Footy Club at 7.30am."
New Horizons chairperson Leanne Arnott said it was really special to receive the donation, particularly given it was from someone so young who recognised the important work of the organisation.
"He particularly emphasised his own love for football and wanting to ensure that everybody had the chance to play football if they wanted to," she said.

New Horizons and Old Scotch work closely with one another through the AFL inclusion program, which Harry's donation will go towards.
"He just wanted to do something really kind for them because obviously we have our funding situation where we don't have secured funding," Ms Arnott said.
This has been paired with the restrictions enforced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, preventing many vital fundraising events from being held.
"It's been a tough year because we haven't been able to have our regular fundraising as well as the NDIS situation for us," Ms Arnott said.
"We haven't been able to have those fundraising opportunities so the coffers are looking a little bit low at the moment."
Ms Arnott said New Horizons planned to apply for another NDIS grant by the end of the year.
"If we're successful that will be really positive for the club, but if not, that really puts us in a dangerous position in terms of ongoing funding and keeping our doors open," she said.
