Residents raise $2400

The St Hubert's Island Residents Association raised more than $2400 for cancer research with a "big cuppa" fundraising event.

"The residents of St Hubert's Island recently gathered in weather not too kind, to support cancer research," association president Mr Ron Spratt said.

"On behalf of the association Bob and Heather Fahey opened their doors to an enthusiastic group of residents to partake of the big cuppa along with homemade cakes, scones and sandwiches which helped to make the day a success.

"This event seems to go from strength to strength each year.

"This year the proceeds from the day including donations and raffles was in excess of $1400 and a further cheque from Cantarella Brothers Pty Ltd swelled the funds by another $1000."
