The Sunbury community is invited to have a cuppa at St Andrews Uniting Church on Sunday, October 13, as part of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea.
The Cancer Council initiative will be celebrated at the church for the 13th year, where people can come together for a good cause from 10.30am, following the 9.30am church service.
Organiser Carol Simpson can’t wait to welcome everybody to the special occasion.
“We’d be talking a little bit about the Cancer Council and how we can help people by donating whatever amount people would like to give,” she said.
“It’s great that the community supports each other and comes together.”
Attendees will be greeted with warm beverages and food.
So far, $11 million has been raised in 2022 across the country, with more than 20,000 morning tea hosts registered.
Money raised for the charity is used to fund vital cancer research, help in prevention and provide support.
Last year, funds raised were used to protect millions of young Australians from UV rays through the SunSmart school program, $62.9 million was invested in research and 250,000 of the organisation’s services were utilised.
Reverend Stan Clarke, minister at the church, said the opportunity to hold a fundraiser for the Cancer Council was a good thing for the generous congregation.
“We always look forward to it,” Rev. Clarke said.
“Morning teas are always an important part of our life at the church. People hang about for a long while, talking and socialising.
“This is an extension of that while people make a contribution to cancer research.”
