Church joins morning tea

The Hardy's Bay Community Church will host an Australia's Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser on May 28, to help with the national fight against cancer.

The event will kick off at the Hardy's Bay Community Church from 10am to 12pm.

Church group publicity officer Ms Rosemary Cave said Hardy's Bay and surrounding communities were looking forward to supporting the national fundraising event on a local scale.

"The Cancer Council's popular fundraiser for the year is just around the corner and the Hardy's Bay Community Church is planning to be part of that," Ms Cave said.

"Australia's Biggest Morning Tea is a perennial favourite of Australians and involves plenty of fun, plenty of tea and plenty of opportunities for catching up with friends, family, colleagues and neighbours.

"Your donation and participation in the morning tea will make a difference to cancer research and care, and all proceeds go to the Cancer Council."

In its 16th year, Australia's Biggest Morning Tea has raised more than $40 million making it the largest and most successful event of its kind in Australia.

Last year alone saw Australia raise a record of more than $10 million.

"If you are unable to attend the morning tea, but wish to donate to the Cancer Council, this can be done online at www.biggestmorningtea.com.au or by contacting me on 4360 1243," Ms Cave said.
