Le Pine Funerals in Healesville is hosting its annual Biggest Morning Tea on Wednesday 17 April, a fund-raising event in support of the Cancer Council.
Last year the Biggest Morning Tea raised close to $12 million nationally for the Cancer Council, with every dollar raised going to fund research aimed at finding a cure for cancer.
Jenny Smith of Le Pine is organising the morning tea and she said that they will again be working with the Healesville Country Womens Association, a partnership now in its fourth year.
She said this group of ladies can do more than the usual CWA stereotype of tea and scones but for the morning tea they will even do that with their usual dose of attitude.
“They like to say they are not just country women but ‘chicks with attitude’, hence their name, the Healesville Nite Chicks,” she said. “We had around 80 people here last year and I’m hoping we can beat that this year.”
Apart from a delicious morning tea, there will be lots of raffles and other games to make it a fun day and boost the amount donated to the Cancer Council.
“It’s a fun and happy day and a great way for the community to come together and help raise money for cancer research. I’m really looking forward to seeing all our regulars again this year and hopefully a lot of new faces as well.”
The Le Pine Biggest Morning Tea is at Le Pine, 102 Maroondah Highway, Healesville on Wednesday 17 April from 10am to noon, with a $5 donation at the door. RSVP to Jenny 5962 4141.
Every dollar raised through your Australia’s Biggest Morning tea helps fund Cancer Council’s life-saving research, prevention, support programs and information. For more information visit www.biggestmorningtea.com.au
