The Tarrawarra CWA and Le Pine funeral branch are again hosting their annual Biggest Morning Tea for the Cancer Council on Wednesday 10 May, with hopes it will be a good turnout.
Tarrawarra CWA President Anne Fawkes said the food promises to be tasty as it is all handmade by the CWA.
“There will be lovely, lovely, delicacies made by the CWA,” she said.
The event will be filled with an array of handmade baked goods and tea, sure to delight along with games and raffles for the community to enjoy.
Jenny from Le Pine loves hosting the event with the CWA and said it is a good chance to donate to the Cancer Council, whilst enjoying a bit of fun.
“There’s the knowledge that you are supporting a good cause,” she said.
The event has run for a number of years in Healesville, but numbers have dipped recently due to Covid.
One in two Australians will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85 and the Biggest Morning Tea provides the community with the opportunity to help raise funds for the Cancer Council.
Last year, 20,497 morning tea hosts across the country raised over $11.2 million for people impacted by cancer.
The funds are deployed within the Cancer Council towards research, support and prevention.
The Tarrawarra CWA has a personal connection with the morning tea, it is affectionately known amongst the group as “Maria’s morning tea”.
“One of our members passed away from cancer and we saw her go through it,” Anne said.
“We look forward to helping with this event.”
The morning tea will be held at Le Pine on Maroondah Highway on Wednesday 10 May from 10am to 12pm, with entry by donation at the door.
