The campaign, which opposes plans to move consultant-led maternity care from the DGH to the Conquest in Hastings, must now wait to see if it can challenge the proposals at the High Court in London.
Campaigner Liz Walke, who expects to find out nex
t week, said, "Raising the £100,000 is an important milestone and we are two thirds of the way to our target, which is excellent.
"Credit goes to the public and businesses of Eastbourne."
Most campaign members have pledged £1,000 of their own money each and £40,000 has been promised by Eastbourne Borough Council.
The pressure group's battle bus raised almost £10,000 in a day and a nappy walk by 30 grown men in nappies raised £6,000.
The fighting fund began in March.
Liz said she hoped the recommendations of the IRP panel investigating the plans for the government would mean East Sussex Downs and Weald and Hastings and Rother Primary Care Trusts would be forced to go back to the drawing board, in which case pledges and donations to the fighting fund would be returned.
If not, fundraising will go on to raise the remaining £50,000, with a dinner dance planned for November.
