MORE than 100 people gathered at Bandon Grove Hall on Tuesday 6 May for the much-loved annual Biggest Morning Tea.
Together they raised nearly $3600 for the Cancer Council through entry donations, raffles, and a quality handcraft stall.
The event, first held in 2001, has become a cherished local tradition, only pausing during COVID-19 lockdowns.
This year’s fundraiser proved as popular as ever, with a steady stream of attendees enjoying homemade treats, good company, and the chance to win from an impressive selection of raffle prizes – including a stunning patchwork quilt, a hand-crocheted rug, and a lucky door prize.
The Bandon Grove community continues to show that small areas can make a big difference.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the community’s ongoing support,” said one of the event’s organisers. “It’s a cause close to many hearts, and we look forward to bringing people together again next year.”
The handcraft stall, filled with beautifully made items, was a highlight for many and contributed significantly to the funds raised.
Organisers extended heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, contributed their baking skills to the delicious morning tea, or generously donated raffle prizes.
