Josie’s Biggest Morning Tea, held in Kumbia last week, has raised thousands of dollars for the fight against cancer.
The annual event, organised by the Birds Of A Feather cancer support group, supported the Cancer Council of Queensland but also honoured the late Josie McConville.
Josie, who died in May last year, helped found Birds Of A Feather almost two decades ago and her annual “morning teas” in Kumbia raised funds for cancer research.
Birds Of A Feather secretary Steph Stevens said this year’s “Josie’s Biggest Morning Tea” event attracted about 100 people to Kumbia Memorial Hall’s supper room on Thursday morning.
There was a guest speaker, nurse navigator (cancer and chronic disease) Natalie Leith; a multi-draw raffle and guessing competitions.
“So far we’ve raised over $2500 and might get to $3000 with some other donations coming in,” Steph told southburnett.com.au
The Birds Of A Feather team are also a big part of the South Burnett’s annual Relay For Life fundraising.
This year’s Relay will be held on October 8 at the Kingaroy Showgrounds.
