You might’ve noticed that Dal Santo’s Deli was a little busier and a lot louder than usual last Thursday. That was thanks to the Burdekin Breast Cancer Awareness Group’s sold out Biggest Morning Tea event.
Attendees flooded the space from 10am, with 60+ people gathering in true Burdekin fashion to show their support for breast cancer research and those affected by the disease.
Among attendees was Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort, who officially opened the event before handing over to councillor and event MC John Furnell.
Furnell facilitated the morning’s proceedings, which included lively and informative speeches by Support Person and Founder of the Burdekin Breast Cancer Awareness Group, Shirley Gilmore, Developmental Specialist for the Queensland Cancer Council, Tegan Marsden, Kate Shaw, and Desley Ralph of Dragons Abreast, Townsville.
Bridging the gaps between speeches was an enthusiastic live performance by local talent Alexis, setting the mood while some tasty, hand-made treats tantalised the tastebuds of attendees. A raffle rounded off the morning, with a range of prizes up for grabs.
Gilmore, the event organiser, was thrilled with how the morning transpired.
“Everyone that was there had just loved the day,” said Gilmore. “It definitely served it’s purpose—100% plus. It certainly achieved what I wanted it to achieve, with not only the information that we delivered on the day, but also the money that we raised.”
“The support we got was amazing.”
