AN estimated 35 attended the Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser at the Bush Track Wines Cellar Door on Wednesday morning, where almost $1600 was raised for the Cancer Council.

Organiser Judy Anderson, who is a salesperson for the winemaker, said the event’s success was due to the donations of time, space, and goods from wide range of businesses and individuals.

Food was donated by two bakeries in the shire, while a local supermarket donated ingredients, and several businesses in Myrtleford and Bright donated raffle gifts.

Bush Track Wines donated the use of their venue, while staff also donated their time, meaning all money made from the event went to the cancer charity, Ms Anderson said.

She said the venue was almost at capacity.

“It was amazing that we had that many people there,” she said.

“It was just such a great tribute to the people that have cancer, that are fighting and everything else, and it also shows the support from the local community.

“A great big thanks to the sponsors that helped us make everybody's day a day to remember.”
