Regis Home Hill to Host Heartfelt Mother’s Day Fundraiser In Support Of NBCF

Regis Aged Care Home Hill will soon host a beautiful Mother’s Day Garden Party and Cent Sale Fundraiser on the 10th of May in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) and in an exciting 2025 debut, the organisation has extended a warm invitation to the entire Burdekin community to attend.

An afternoon of socialisation, refreshments and plenty of prizes, attendees are encouraged to pop on over to Home Hill’s Tenth Avenue from 1pm onwards on the 10th of May to browse the wonderful selection of prizes before the Cent Sale begins at 1:30pm.

Over the past couple of months, Regis Aged Care kindly asked the businesses of the community to donate prizes of any kind towards the Cent Sale Fundraiser, and in true Burdekin fashion, Regis has been beyond overwhelmed with the region’s support.

“The response to our upcoming event has been truly heart-warming, with an amazing array of prizes already donated,” shared Regis Home Hill’s Office Manager, Megan Tye.

Gift hampers, vouchers, and uniquely handcrafted items are among the plethora of prizes on offer with Megan noting, that this is simply the beginning.

“We're still reaching out to more businesses, and the prize pool continues to grow, and this wonderful show of community spirit demonstrates just how special our local business community is,” added Megan.

Attendees are asked to present a $5 entry fee (children are free) which includes afternoon tea, and a ticket into the door prize competition all whilst supporting NBCF.

“Our upcoming fundraiser combines the charm of a classic afternoon tea with an exciting cent sale, bringing families and community together for a cause that touches us all – the Breast Cancer Foundation,” said Megan.

“This initiative holds deep personal significance for our team, particularly as many of us have been affected by breast cancer, and what makes this event even more special is the active involvement of our residents, who are helping with wrapping prizes to creating beautiful display for the day.”

The excitement across the Aged Care community has continued to build in anticipation of May’s event, and Megan, along with the rest of the staff, find the lead up to each of these occasions a spectacle in itself.

“You can feel the excitement building days before, as residents pick out their favourite outfits and share memories of social gatherings from their younger years as our morning and afternoon tea socials aren't just about refreshments – they're about creating moments that matter,” noted Megan.

“These gatherings serve as perfect occasions for our residents to step out of their daily routines and into something extraordinary and we believe that by uniting our community, we can make a meaningful difference in the fight against breast cancer.”
