Get ready, Canberra, because it's time to brew a storm and make a difference! 🌟
Cancer Council ACT's Australia's Biggest Morning Tea is back, and this year, it's all about coming together over a cuppa to support those affected by cancer. But here's where it gets controversial... or rather, inspiring! 🌿
Last year, an incredible 400 Canberrans joined forces, each with their unique stories and backgrounds, to raise vital funds. And this is the part most people miss: it's not just about the tea and snacks; it's about the impact we can have on our community.
The Stats:
- Almost 1 in 2 Australians will face a cancer diagnosis by age 85.
- Over 169,500 Aussies were diagnosed last year - that's a staggering number!
- But here's the good news: with your support, we can fund life-saving research, essential support services, and prevention programs right here in Canberra.
Verity Hawkins, CEO at Cancer Council ACT, shares:
"Australia's Biggest Morning Tea is more than just a social event. It's an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of those affected by cancer."
So, how can you get involved?
- Host a morning tea event wherever you like - at work, school, or even in your community.
- Attend an event and show your support.
- Donate online to contribute to the cause.
Your donations make a world of difference:
- $10 connects newly diagnosed individuals with vital support resources.
- $25 funds a conversation with our Supportive Care Team, offering critical guidance.
- $120 ensures our ENHANCE Wellbeing program remains free, providing gentle movement and support.
- $205 helps Canberrans facing hair loss regain confidence with a free wig or hat.
- $1,000 funds life-saving research right here in the ACT.
Cancer Council ACT has been a beacon of hope for nearly 50 years, advocating for and supporting Canberrans affected by cancer.
Join the movement and be a part of this life-changing initiative. Together, we can make a real impact and get closer to a cancer-free future.
