Yarra Points Biggest Morning Tea

Royal Tea Member

Hosting my 12th year

In honour of my Friends and Family

In loving memory of Lynn O'Sullivan

A proud resident of Yarra's Edge, Lynn threw herself into community events with enthusiasm, and had a talent for making everyone around her feel welcomed, seen, and cared for.

She believed that showing up for others was one of the most important things a person could do,  whether it was a familiar face at a Yarra's Edge gathering or a quiet word of support to someone going through a hard time, she was always there.

Lynn passed away in September 2025 after a year of living with cancer and we miss her dearly. By supporting the Cancer Council Australia, we honour her spirit and her belief that no one should face this journey alone. Please give generously in memory of her.

Many knew Lynn from the Yarra's Edge Choir, others as a neighbour and friend at Yarra Point. Over the past few years she has been present on our welcome table at our Biggest Morning Tea and will be greatly missed by the community this year and always.

Yarra’s Edge community are coming together again to fundraise for the 12th year.

Fundraising for the Cancer Council Australia is more important now than ever before. Over the past years we have lost a few Yarra’s edge residents to cancer, including Lynn O’Sullivan a Yarra Point resident and friends overseas such as Lynne Bellinger in Dubai. Many of us have family that have either been lost to cancer or are currently fighting their fight, with the help of cancer research we can make a difference.

 

Date: Thursday May 21, 2026

Time: 10am 

Location: Ground floor Array Building, 100 Lorimer Street, Docklands, Victoria 3008

Morning tea: Will include delicious cakes and savouries with lots of tea/coffee.

Entry fee: $25

 

We will have a raffle which will include: Kinesiology, Physio, Chiro, Pilates, Hair and Beauty vouchers. Also, hampers donated by local businesses and dining experiences. Our live auction will be managed by Barry Plant for some wonderful holidays both locally and further afield.

 

Sadly, there are now 1 in 5 people worldwide that develop cancer in their lifetime, with rates varying from around 8.6% in low-income regions to over 45% in high-income areas like Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Europe. Risk increases significantly with age, with nearly 1 in 2 people in certain developed nations facing a diagnosis by age 85.

 

Help us to help others with our fundraising for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea 2026. Please donate today.
