Cuppa for a cause

IT’S that time of the year again when friends old and new meet over a cup of tea and slice of cake to help out a good cause.
The Biggest Morning Tea is back, and Noosa residents and visitors are invited to enjoy yummy treats with a view as the Cancer Council Noosa Branch host their annual morning tea at the Noosa Boathouse.
Cancer Council’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is a chance for friends and neighbours to get together and raise money for a great cause. With one in two Australians being diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85, every dollar helps to make a real difference by funding Cancer Council’s vital research, prevention and support service programmes.
Morning tea co-ordinator Annie Evans said this year would see the event being held in another beautiful Noosa location which overlooks a picturesque Noosa backdrop.
“We’re very lucky to have such a beautiful location again this year, and guests are sure to enjoy the view as much as the hand-made treats,” Ms Evans said.
“There are also many lucky door and raffle prizes including vouchers, hampers and much more with all funds raised on the day going to the Cancer Council of Queensland.
“The money could be used by the Cancer Council for wigs or turbans, support and prevention services, or even research.”
There are still seats available, so why not grab some friends and head to The Boathouse, River Room on Thursday 26 May at 10am. Entry is $15 and you can book your seat by calling Ms Evans before Tuesday 24 May on 0409 385 566.
