Biggest morning tea - Cancer Foundation Fundraiser

Looking fantastic, those giant yellow balloons really make an impact!

Down by the water at Manly, what a lovely venue.

We were very pleased to support our friend and AMBCQ member Diana from House of Events this week at her Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser event for the Cancer Foundation.  And what a fabulous event it was!  The morning tea was at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron at Manly, which is a really beautiful venue, right on the water, of course.  Comscentre, a very strong supporter of AMBCQ, also supported the event.  I have to say just about everything I can think of was perfectly pitched!  The food, the little yellow cupcakes, the prizes, the jumping castle, and the giant yellow balloons! And being during the school holidays, I really appreciated that kids were welcome and in fact encouraged to come along.  You can imagine how much they enjoyed themselves with a jumping castle and the Club's playground at their disposal.  What a fantastic morning! 

It's so big, it's almost a planet!! We could only squeeze
one balloon into the car.

All the children who came along were given the chance to bring home one of these giant yellow balloons - we could only take one in our car.  It is much loved by our daughter Ilmi and I'm afraid she's going to be very sad when it finally bursts or goes down.

Events like this are never easy to pull off, but Diana did an amazing job.  It is true, everyone is always busy, and each of us have a million things to do each day.  Not everyone is willing to put themselves out in order to create an event to bring people together in support of an important cause.  It is great to be able to attend a wonderful, fun event, AND support the Cancer Foundation.  I'm looking forward to next year's event already!

If anyone would like to engage the services of a very good events planner, I would be happy to put you in touch with Diana and House of Events.

I won something! A BMW pack with hats (enough
for all our kids!), a picnic set, and a big umbrella.
We just need the car to go with it now. ;)
