A record-breaking $2,500 was raised at this year’s Biggest Morning Tea, marking the most successful event to date for the local organisers. Now in its 20th year, the annual fundraiser has become a staple on the community calendar, bringing people together in support of the Cancer Council.
This year’s success was made possible through a new collaboration with Club Whitsunday, who provided the venue and generously catered the event.
“It’s the most we’ve ever raised,” said Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre Executive Officer Rebecca Woods.
“Being in collaboration with Club Whitsunday, we were able to open it up to a much larger audience than we have been capable of holding at the actual Neighbourhood Centre.”
Guests enjoyed a warm and welcoming atmosphere, excellent food, and a wide selection of raffle prizes to suit all budgets, with $5, $20, and $50 ticket categories.
Each year, funds raised are donated to the Cancer Council, supporting vital research and services. But just as important is the opportunity for those affected by cancer to come together.
“Every year the money that's raised goes to the Cancer Council but it's a really important morning, more so for people who have lived experience with cancer to be able to come together and enjoy good company and good food,” said Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre Executive Officer Rebecca Woods.
The Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre is already looking forward to next year’s morning tea, with hopes to build on the momentum.
