A CUPPA FOR THE CANCER COUNCIL: The Italian Sports Club of Werribee ladies committee has done itself proud.
The committee hosted an event for the Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea campaign last month, raising $13,000 for the Cancer Council.
Money raised during the annual campaign goes toward supporting cancer patients and research.
Ladies committee chairperson Connie Fugazzotto said she and her fellow committee members had organised a Biggest Morning Tea every year, for the past 12 years.
“We’ve been doing this for years, and each year we want to just beat last year’s total,” she said. “Last year we raised $12,500.”
Ms Fugazzotto said that across the past 12 years, the committee had raised “well over $100,000” for the Cancer Council.
She said 276 people attended this year’s morning tea, which was held on May 31.
Ms Fugazzotto said she would like to thank the attendees and event’s sponsors.
“We rely on the generosity of lots of businesses in Werribee and Hoppers Crossing, they donate vouchers and prizes for the silent auction, we’d really like to thank them and we couldn’t do it without them,” she said.
Ms Fugazzotto said the committee enjoyed holding the Biggest Morning Tea each year.
“We know it’s a good cause, I don’t think there’s been many families who haven’t been touched by cancer,” she said.
