Australia will have its Biggest Morning Tea on Thursday, May 26, but gorgeous three-year-old Mia just couldn’t wait for something smaller. Out came her tiny tea pot, cups and saucers and she entered a child’s magical world of imagination.
And now Mia (right), of Encounter Bay, is all set to have a nice cuppa with her nanna, who loves her tea.
While May 26 is set down as the special day, you may hold a Biggest Morning Tea party throughout May and June, so there is plenty of time to organise your own event. Full details: www.biggestmorningtea.com.au
Registering as a host is easy… share your online fundraising page with friends or family, and your morning tea can be as big or small as you like.
Each event is about participants making a donation – raising much-needed funds for cancer research, and once you have registered and held your event, place the funds in a special account.
This is the 23rd Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, and funds raised will help Cancer Council continue its vital work in cancer research, prevention and support services. It’s a great cause.
Cancer Council is the largest independent funder of cancer research in Australia. In 2015, its research grants totalled more than $70.5 million.
Mia’s mum, Care Vaughen, will be attending a Biggest Morning Tea function in the mall at the Goolwa Shopping Centre from 10am-noon presented by the team at the Goolwa & District Community Bendigo Bank, Caffe DeCarlo and other local businesses who will generously donate their goods, time. And you’re invited – tickets are at the bank. Last year their event raised more than $1400.
Look out for countless other special fundraising events celebrating Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, and please support them. And a big thank you to the many volunteers and supporters who are helping this event. If you are planning a tea party for cancer research in June let us know early and we will also publish your details (no charge): info@coastlines.com.au
