Get ready, Canberra, because it's time to brew up a storm and make a difference! 🌟
Cancer Council ACT's Australia's Biggest Morning Tea is back, and this year, it's all about celebrating community, raising vital funds, and supporting those affected by cancer.
But here's where it gets controversial... or rather, heartwarming. This event isn't just about a cuppa and a snack; it's about coming together, sharing stories, and making a real impact on the lives of those facing cancer.
The Stats:
- Last year, an incredible 400 Canberrans joined forces, each with their unique story to tell.
- Almost 1 in 2 Australians will face a cancer diagnosis by age 85.
- Australia's Biggest Morning Tea has been a cherished tradition for over 30 years, uniting millions in the fight against cancer.
Verity Hawkins, CEO of Cancer Council ACT, shares:
"It's become an annual fixture for many, but it's so much more than just a morning tea. Your fundraising efforts are the backbone of our work, supporting local research, prevention, and vital support services."
Throughout May and June, Canberra will buzz with morning teas, each one a chance to connect, contribute, and make a difference. Every dollar raised brings us closer to a cancer-free future.
Here's how your donations can make a real impact:
- $10: Connects newly diagnosed individuals with online support and resources.
- $25: Funds a conversation with our Supportive Care Team, offering critical support to those affected.
- $120: Ensures our ENHANCE Wellbeing program remains free, providing gentle movement and support to those in need.
- $205: Helps provide free headwear (wigs or hats) to those experiencing hair loss due to treatment.
- $1,000: Funds world-class research right here in the ACT, saving lives and improving outcomes.
And this is the part most people miss: it's not just about the money. It's about the community spirit, the shared purpose, and the strength that comes from standing together. So, whether you're hosting, attending, or donating, know that you're part of something truly special.
Cancer Council ACT has been a champion for Canberrans living with cancer for nearly 50 years, advocating for prevention, support, and research.
