This May, Cancer Council is once again encouraging people across Australia to gather their friends, family or workmates for a cup of tea and a bite to eat whilst raising money to support Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea and to help those affected by cancer.
In 2018, the official day to host a morning tea is Thursday, May 24 but anyone can host at any time in May or June.
By hosting or attending an Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, participants will help Cancer Council NSW continue our life-saving cancer research, prevention, advocacy and support programs.
Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is the largest and most successful event of its kind in Australia.
Last year alone, the simple act of our participants hosting a morning tea raised $4.5 million across NSW.
Phoebe Collins, communications and events coordinator at Cancer Council NSW’s Southern office said while the official date is May 24, people in Yass 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 and raise more than $4.9 million across the state to help everyone affected by cancer in NSW.
Those who want to host can register at biggestmorningtea.com.au or call 1300 65 65 85 to receive a free morning tea host kit.
Yass locals unable to host a morning tea can still get involved by donating directly to Cancer Council via biggestmorningtea.com.au.
