Perth: Women of the Greek Community of WA hosted Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea

On Tuesday the 11th of October, with the Blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia, Rev Fr Terry Gerovasilis represented His Grace Bishop Elpidios of Kyanea as the Women of the Greek Community of WA hosted Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea to raise funds for The Cancer Council.

The event was well attended this year by approximately 200 ladies and is the 16th year that this fundraiser has been held in Perth. The event this year raised $9,650 which brings the total raised to $168,449.40 over the 16 years. Through the Cancer Council, the money raised each year works in three ways.

Firstly, to help prevent cancer through programs such as the SunSmart School Program; second, to provide funding for important cancer research; and third, to support families who are affected and suffering from cancer.

The Committee of the Women of the Greek Community in Perth extended their warm thanks to everyone involved in supporting the event and to all those who have continued to support the event over its 16 year history.
