This year, Cancer Council hopes to recruit over 7,970 generous morning tea hosts and raise over $4 million to help everyone affected by cancer right across the state. All donations fund Cancer Council's life-saving research, prevention, support programs and information.
Since Australia's Biggest Morning Tea began in 1994, millions of Australians have come together over a cuppa and a bite to eat to support those affected by cancer. By hosting or attending a morning tea, you will help Cancer Council continue its life-saving cancer research, prevention, advocacy and support programs for people affected by cancer.
Cancer Council NSW CEO Professor Sarah Hosking said Australia's Biggest Morning Tea events not only provide a chance to fundraise, but they're also an opportunity to connect with others.
"There have been significant challenges connecting with people over the past few years. Australia's Biggest Morning Tea offers a chance for communities to come together and reconnect over a cuppa for a good cause.
"People are often surprised to hear that one Australian is diagnosed with cancer approximately every four minutes. That's what makes this campaign so important; it provides a space to learn about the challenges faced by those affected by cancer and raise vital funds for cancer care and research.
"A donation of as little as $10 can provide online support for people affected by cancer to learn more about their cancer risk or what diagnosis means – from the comfort of their own home.
"Every minute, every hour, every day, Cancer Council is here to help those affected by cancer."
In 2022, the official day to host a morning tea is Thursday, 19 May, however, participants can register to host at any time throughout May or June.
Make a cuppa for a cause this May or June.
