More than 100 residents at Tudor Village came together on Thursday 12th June for a special afternoon tea fundraiser in support of cancer research. The Tudor Village afternoon tea raised over $3,500 for the Cancer Council, with funds generated through donations, raffles, afternoon tea sales, and the sale of hand made daffodils.
This community fundraising event highlights the strong sense of connection within the Tudor Village retirement village and the ongoing commitment of residents to support life saving causes.
Residents enjoyed a delightful afternoon tea featuring a selection of sandwiches, cakes and pastries, complemented by sparkling wine, beer, orange juice, tea and coffee. The event was generously supported by Greg and Cathy from Ashmore’s Smash Repairs Lilydale, ensuring that one hundred percent of the funds raised were donated directly to the Cancer Council.
Carey and Cathy from William Matthews Funerals Lilydale also played a key role in supporting the event, contributing door prizes, raffle prizes and quiz prizes that helped drive engagement and fundraising throughout the afternoon.
Guests were invited to further support cancer research fundraising efforts by purchasing beautifully crafted hand made daffodils, created using felt, ribbon and buttons. These daffodils became a meaningful symbol of the community’s support for cancer research.
The Tudor Village Cancer Council afternoon tea was organised by the Tudor Village Residents Association and is one of many community events hosted throughout the year. These events not only raise vital funds for important causes but also strengthen community ties and create shared experiences for residents at Tudor Village.
