Australia’s Biggest morning tea is turning 25 and with it thousands of Queenslanders are expected to gather over tea and cakes.
In the past 25 years, the fund raising initiative has raised $31.2m for Cancer Council Queensland.
In 2018, about 5000 Queenslanders are expected to put on the kettle for the cause.
The official day is Thursday, May 24 but many choose to host an Australia’s Biggest morning tea anytime throughout April, May or June.
Cancer Council Queensland CEO Chris McMillan called on locals to once again fill their cups in support of a cancer free future.
“Every cuppa poured and dollar raised enables Cancer Council to continue investing in lifesaving cancer research, prevention, advocacy and support programs,” Ms McMillan said.
“About 27,000 Queenslanders are diagnosed with cancer annually. Your support enables us to support those affected every minute, every hour, every day. Hosting a morning tea is easy. Simply gather your closest friends and family, set a date, raise funds, and enjoy a cuppa together.”
Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is the largest and most successful event of its kind in Australia.
