The breast cancer survivor will hosted her 2018 morning tea last week at the Leichhardt Hotel to raise funds for Cancer Council Queensland.

Ms Grober said the whole community was invited to raise their cups for a cure at the kid-friendly event.

“The theme for this year was African Safari  – the hotel was decorated with cardboard animals with fun photos as heads, and prizes for best dressed,” she said.

“We also had a pampering session planned, with locals who did a nails, hair and a makeup masterclass for the guests.

This year Cancer Council Queensland will celebrate 25 years of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, with more than 5000 events expected to be held across the state.

The official day to host was Thursday, May 24, however anyone can host a morning tea anytime throughout May or June.

Cancer Council Queensland CEO Chris McMillan called on locals to tea-up for the cause, and fill their cups with hope to support a cancer free future. 

“Over the past 25 years in Queensland, $31.2 million has been raised by like-minded individuals hosting a morning tea to make a difference – and we hope that continues,” Ms McMillan said.

“We’re calling on people to get involved by hosting or attending an event. Simply gather your closest friends and family, set a date, raise funds, and enjoy a cuppa together.

“One Queenslander is diagnosed with cancer every 20 minutes – the length of an average morning tea break.

“But with the help of dedicated people, like Dale, we can ensure that those diagnosed are supported every minute, every hour, every day,” she said.

Every cuppa poured and dollar raised enables Cancer Council to continue investing in lifesaving cancer research, prevention, advocacy and support programs.

Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is the largest and most successful event of its kind in Australia.
