The fundraiser will take place on Friday, June 13, from 10am to 1pm at the Devenish Pavilion.
Now marking 25 years of community generosity, the event is part of Cancer Council Australia’s national campaign to raise funds for cancer research, prevention, treatment, and services.
It also aims to support the wellbeing of older community members and residents in aged care facilities.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a gold coin donation, enjoy raffle prizes and savour homemade treats, tea, coffee and light refreshments, all while soaking up the friendly atmosphere.
The event is being organised by the For The Good of Devenish Committee, led by President June Howard and Secretary/Treasurer Diane Young, whose dedication continues to make the event a highlight on the local calendar.
The community initiative is proudly supported by Benalla Rural City Council.
This initiative aligns with council’s Age Friendly Action Plan and is supported by the Age Friendly Benalla Reference Group.
Benalla Mayor Bernie Hearn commended the community for its ongoing support of such a meaningful cause.
“It’s truly inspiring to see Devenish rally year after year in support of cancer research and community wellbeing,” Cr Hearn said.
“This kind of grassroots action not only raises crucial funds but also strengthens the fabric of our community. I commend the organisers and everyone involved.”
The Biggest Morning Tea is one of Australia’s largest fundraising initiatives, with a national goal of raising more than $15 million annually for the Cancer Council.
