Morning tea to fill fundraising cup
HAVING a cuppa and a bite to eat could reap rewards for the Cancer Council which has just opened registrations for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea program.
With one Australian diagnosed with cancer around every five minutes – the same length as an average tea break – Aussies can make a difference with every mug by registering for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea and hosting the event in May or June.
Cancer Council’s Naomi Watson said it was hoped the initiative could raise more than $16 million to continue the organisation’s life-saving cancer research, prevention, advocacy and support programs.
“Since 1993, Australians have hosted tens of thousands of morning teas and raised over $200 million, helping to fund life-saving research and vital support for those affected by cancer,” she said.
“With more than 24,000 hosts participating each year, Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea has cemented itself as one of the country’s most successful and beloved fundraisers.
“From a laid-back picnic with friends to a large-scale workplace event, people can celebrate Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea their own way.
“No matter how your morning tea looks, it’s all about bringing people together in support of this important cause that impacts all of us.”
Over the last 32 years, the event has seen millions of Australians donate, fundraise, and support those affected by cancer.
Although Thursday 22 May is the official date to host a morning tea in support of Cancer Council – Aussies can host as an individual, community group or business any time in May or June.
