Le Pine Funerals Healesville and Tarrawarra CWA will work together once again for a cause.

The Healesville Biggest Morning Tea is set on Wednesday 21 May to raise much-needed funds for the Cancer Council’s life-saving research, support programs, and prevention campaigns while having fun with a cup of tea.

The Tarrawarra CWA will prepare the sweet, savoury, and tea while Le Pine Funerals Healesville will organise the raffle, game, and prize.

The two entities have collaborated to support the cause for nearly a decade.

“When we were approached by Jenny (from Le Pine Funerals Healesville) to come with her onto the journey, we said we’d love to because it fitted for us, because of our past president (who was struggling with breast cancer at the time),” Tarrawarra CWA president Anne Faulks said.

“It was just such a good fit for us.”

The day provides an opportunity for local residents to meet and socialise, and everyone’s welcome to attend the day with a $5 donation on the door all going towards the Cancer Council.

Le Pine Funerals Healesville manager Jenny Smith said it’s an event for everyone, including young mums and men.

“One year, we had a mums’ group come and it was so good. We had kids who played on the chapel floor, and they had a great time,” she said.

“We love supporting it every year. Le Pine as a company, lots of our branches do it.”

The Healesville Biggest Morning Tea will kick off at 10am at the Le Pine Funerals Healesville located on 102 Maroondah Highway.
