Cancer Council is encouraging people across Australia to host a morning tea and support those affected by cancer.

 

For 25 years, Cancer Council's Australia's Biggest Morning Tea has brought together millions of Australians over a cup of tea in support of those affected by cancer.

 

In 2018, the official day to host a morning tea is Thursday 24 May, however anyone can host at any time in May or June. By hosting or attending an Australia's Biggest Morning Tea anywhere in Australia, participants will help Cancer Council continue our life-saving cancer research, prevention, advocacy and support programs.

 

Australia's Biggest Morning Tea is the largest and most successful event of its kind in Australia. Last year alone, the simple act of our participants hosting a morning tea raised $11.9 million.
