The QCWA Burnett Division and Member for Burnett Stephen Bennett will host Bundy’s Biggest Morning Tea this week to raise vital funds to help beat cancer.
Mr Bennett encouraged locals to support the cause by attending the morning tea on Wednesday, June 29, at the Bundaberg QCWA rooms, Quay Street, from 9.30am.
“Your support of this event will help to raise vital funds for cancer prevention, research and support services,” he said.
“This is your chance to make a big difference to people and their families who are affected by cancer.
“Sharing a social cup of tea and some delicious food is a simple and fun way to help support the work of the Cancer Council. We would love to see as many people as possible come down and support the fundraising efforts.”
Mr Bennett said cancer sadly touched the lives of many, including thousands of people in the Wide Bay Burnett region.
“Sadly, in the Wide Bay Burnett region alone, around 1500 people are diagnosed with cancer each year,” he said.
“Cancer Council Queensland is there to support those affected by cancer, providing both financial and practical assistance to those experiencing cancer-related financial hardship.
“This is a nice way to support the Cancer Council’s efforts in looking after local families doing it tough.”
QCWA Burnett division spokeswoman Bernice Maidment said she was looking forward to Bundy’s Biggest Morning Tea.
“We are looking forward to sharing a cuppa with the community and raising funds for the Cancer Council,” she said.
She said those attending the morning tea would be treated to a delicious spread of home-baked goods, fantastic prizes, guest speakers and more.
