Cancer Council’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea turns 31 this year and Central Coast residents are being encouraged to gather friends, family or workmates for a cup of tea and a bite to eat while raising money to fund cancer research, new treatments and education.
Some Coasties have already hosted events, with the fundraiser continuing throughout May and June.
Among them is The Cove Village at Daleys Point, which recently raised $1,702 for the cause.
Cancer Council Central Coast Community Relations officer Jaynie Moloney said the funds raised would ensure Cancer Council can continue its lifesaving cancer research, prevention, advocacy and local support programs.
“For 31 years, Cancer Council’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea has brought together many people living on the Central Coast over a cup of tea in support of those affected by cancer” she said.
“Since the event began in 1993, Cancer Council’s generous community of supporters across Australia have raised more than $224M by hosting morning teas.
“Whichever way you choose to celebrate Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, every dollar raised on the Central Coast will make a huge difference.
“It doesn’t need to be fancy – your Biggest Morning Tea could be at home with friends or family, a simple morning tea in the office with workmates, a virtual get-together, or a gathering in the local community or at school.
“Simply register online at biggestmorningtea.com.au, set a date in May or June and start sending out your invites.
“All of us will be affected by cancer at some point in our lives and every dollar raised helps support those impacted by cancer.”
Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is the largest and most successful event of its kind in the country and attracts more than 25,000 hosts each year.
