THIS May, Cancer Council Australia is encouraging Aussies to gather with their friends, family and workmates for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea —a chance to share a cuppa and a bite to eat while raising life-saving funds to fight cancer.
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 this year’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea.
Naomi Watson, Cancer Council NSW Director of Marketing and Fundraising, said this year Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea was hoping to raise more than $16 million to continue Cancer Council’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.
“Tackling cancer takes all of us. Together, we can turn a simple morning tea into a powerful force for change. Join us this May and help raise the funds needed to fight cancer, one cup at a time.”
Over the last 32 years, the event has seen millions of Australians donate, fundraise, and support those affected by cancer.
Although Thursday 22nd 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.
