Biggest Morning Tea 💛

What a day! These are just a few snaps from our incredible event.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to raise over $3,100 (our highest ever amount!) as well as the incredible Craft A Cure for Cancer group raising over $1,100 as well.

🙌 That's a whopping total of over $4,200 raised!

A massive thank you to everyone who made this event possible - our donors, raffle tickets purchasers, prize sponsors, volunteers and all those who worked So hard behind the scenes to bring it together.

A special thanks to our guest speakers Mayor and Cancer Council spokesperson Ken for sharing their time, stories and words.

This money will go directly to to fund their important work to prevent cancer, support people and save lives.
