The North Mackay Sinkers Masters Swimming Club will swap laps for lamingtons on Saturday, May 17, when they host a special morning tea fundraiser in partnership with DMR Leisure.
Held under the shade tree at the Memorial Pool from 9.30am to 11.30am, the event is part of the Cancer Council’s nationwide Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea initiative. Known for their post-swim hospitality, the Sinkers are inviting the community to join them for a morning of treats, raffles, games, and good company—all while supporting a cause close to many hearts.
A minimum gold coin donation will unlock access to a generous spread of sweet and savoury delights. Swimmers will pay the usual pool entry fee, while non-swimmers can follow kiosk staff directions to the event area. Coffee and cuppas will be available from the on-site kiosk.
Nearly one in two Australians are diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85, and every dollar raised goes towards research, prevention, and vital support services. Just $150, for instance, can connect two people recently diagnosed with cancer with a trained Cancer Connect volunteer for one-on-one support.
