Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is a community event that raises vital funds to make a big difference for those impacted by cancer.
And we are turning 30 this year!
Almost one in two Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85. Every year in May, thousands of people come together for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea – the best way to raise funds for cancer research and support services, while sharing a cup of tea.
It is an opportunity for you and your friends, family and workmates to come together, share a cuppa, some delicious food, and help those affected by cancer.
The funds you raise help run Cancer Council WA’s vital support services, lifesaving cancer research and educational prevention programs. One dollar at a time, you are making a real difference to the lives of Australians impacted by cancer.
The official date is Thursday, 25th May 2023, but you can register to host a Biggest Morning Tea anytime that suits you throughout May or June.
Once your date is set, start planning your tea and send out your invites. You’ll find heaps of resources in your online fundraising hub to make everything easy no matter what kind of morning tea you choose.
So sign up today and host an Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea your way!
