Now in its 24th year, Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is one of Cancer Council’s leading fundraising events and the largest, most successful event of its kind in Australia. Funds raised help support Cancer Council’s life-saving cancer research, prevention, advocacy and local support services like Transport to Treatment, Accommodation Facilities and Cancer Council Information Centres for people facing cancer. In Northern NSW alone, it is predicted that 2,476 people will be diagnosed with cancer in a single year, with 766 deaths expected.
Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea Coordinator at Cancer Council NSW’s Northern NSW Regional office Sarah Royall said while the official date is Thursday, May 25, local people can register to host their own Biggest Morning Tea at any time from now until the end of June.
“Taking part is easy – simply register online as a host, set a date in May or June and start sending out your invites. An event can be anything from a small gathering at home or in your workplace to a community bake off competition in your local area.”
This year Cancer Council NSW hopes to recruit 11,100 morning tea hosts, including 1500 across Northern NSW and raise over $4.9 million across the state to help everyone affected by cancer in NSW.
Register to host at biggestmorningtea.com.au or call 1300 65 65 85 to receive a free morning tea host kit with everything needed to plan your event including theme ideas, decorating inspiration, fundraising tips, recipes and bunting.
Northern NSW locals unable to host a morning tea can still get involved by finding a public event in their area, donating directly to Cancer Council via biggestmorningtea.com.au or buying limited-edition Australia’s Biggest Morning tea merchandise online.
