The Italian Sports Club of Werribee Ladies Club held their annual Cuppa for Cancer fundraiser on Thursday May 25.

The event is part of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser run by the Cancer Council and as they do every year, the ISCW Ladies Club did their very best to live up to the name.

250 guests attended this year’s event and through raffles and auctions raised a total of $14000.

The importance of the Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser and how the money will be used was explained by the Cancer Council’s Christine Shaw who addressed the event.

Since first being held in 2005, the ISCW’s Cuppa for Cancer has raised over $100,000 for the Cancer Council.
