The Pearcedale Prime (Seniors) Group and The General Cafe have raised $3,309 for Cancer Council through a local Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea event.
The fundraiser was held at The General Cafe in Pearcedale on Tuesday 19 May, with community members attending between 8.30am and 11.45am.
Organisers said the morning tea was supported by local residents, businesses and stallholders from the Pearcedale Community Market, who contributed raffles and door prizes.
City of Casey Deputy Mayor Cr Michelle Crowther attended the event, alongside Pearcedale Prime Group members Debbie Quinn and Sharren Dredge. The City of Casey lists Cr Crowther as Deputy Mayor and councillor for Cranbourne Gardens Ward.
Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is a national Cancer Council fundraiser held across May and June. Cancer Council says money raised through the campaign helps fund cancer research, prevention and support services.
Pearcedale Prime Group meets on Tuesday mornings from 10.30am to 12.30pm at the Pearcedale Community Centre, 710 Baxter-Tooradin Road, Pearcedale.
