Bunbury residents have taken part in their 24th Cancer Council Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea fundraising event at William Barrett and Sons.
Having participated in the event since its inception 1993, this year they hope to contribute to the $13 million national goal to fund research, prevention and support services.
William Barrett and Sons event organiser Joscelyn Jones said they were always happy with the turnout at the Bunbury event.
“We are always blown away by the volume of people who come through the gates and the positive atmosphere that we enjoy year after year,” Mrs Jones said.
“People of all ages get together for a fun morning and raise funds for a cause close to their hearts.
“While cancer continues to devastate families, we need to keep up this fight.”
The Bunbury Primary School marimba band made its debut at the event, joined by the Dalyellup Primary School Circus Troupe, Picton Primary School Ukulele Band and South Bunbury Primary School Choir and Ripper Skippers to keep crowds entertained.
There was a sausage sizzle lunch, raffles and a silent auction all with the hope of raising more than $20,000 for the Cancer Council of WA.
That would bring the total raised by the event during the past 24 years to more than $280,000.
