80 year old John Bazley, who has supported the charity for many years asked his family and friends to switch gifts for donations.
John's daughter Jane Rowlinson travelled from Runcorn in Cheshire to hand over the cheque, totalling £420.
Sadly after been taken ill, Mr Bazley was unable to join his daughter at Whitby Lifeboat Station where she met the crew and station chairman.
Mike Major, Whitby RNLI chairman said:
'We would like to thank Mr Bazley for his wonderful gesture of donating to the RNLI for his 80th birthday. All the crew at Whitby wish him a speedy recovery.
The RNLI is entirely funded on donations from the public and money raised goes towards essential training and equipment for the volunteers.
Jane is also currently taking part in the RNLI's Mayday Mile fundraiser and has already raised over £450. The aim of the fundraiser is to cover a mile a day throughout May, either running, walking, cycling or however you choose, to help raise funds before the RNLI's busiest time of the year.
