THOUSANDS of dollars have been raised for the Cancer Council at Australia’s Biggest Morning Teas in the Loddon last week.
At Pyramid Hill, more than 40 people attended the neighbourhood house event.
Co-ordinator Kim Bennett said a donation of $1300 would be made to the Cancer Council. “Donations came in all week - not only at the event. Our community members and businesses were beyond generous to the cause,” said Kim.
Almost $380 was raised by Boort District School’s student representative council with parents and residents from Boort District Health hostel joining the Friday morning recess fundraiser. “The weather certainly turned it on for us,” said SRC co-ordinator Sharon Pickering who assisted students with organisation.
Students also took part in a fancy dress parade, boosting funds raised.
And a morning tea also hosted by Dingee Bush Nursing Centre raised more than $150.
