Australia's Biggest Morning Tea is a host-based event held Australia wide on the fourth Thursday of May each year.
It is the largest host-based event in the southern hemisphere and has been running for 26 years this year.
In 2018 the event raised more than $4.2 million.
The Cancer Council, together with volunteers, supporters, stakeholders and staff, is committed to reducing the impact of cancer on individuals and the community and to lessening the burden for people affected by cancer.
They work across every area of every cancer:
- conducting and finding world class research that underpins our work across the cancer journey
- preventing cancer
- supporting people as they navigate the cancer journey
- advocating to ensure that Governments take action on cancer
Their work also covers all stages of the cancer journey.
Prevention programs start in NSW schools with Sunsmart and 'Eat it to beat it' resources; they have Understanding Cancer resources and a phone line (13 11 20) for those affected by cancer to access information and support from specialists, as well as a transport to treatment program.
The Cancer Council is 95 per cent community funded, and events like Australia's Biggest Morning Tea enable this work to continue.
Every year in NSW alone, more than 46,000 new cases of cancer are expected to be diagnosed.
