10 Years Closer to a Cure...
Everyone is welcome to a Cancer Council Biggest Morning Tea fundraising event in our Autumn garden at 8 William Street, Allora.
This year marks ten years since 2016, when our dear Phill lost his battle to melanoma cancer.
The research and fundraising across that decade means that, in 2026, when another dear friend of ours is delivered the same diagnosis, he has a much more positive prognosis and a truly hopeful outlook for the future.
This is such a personal reminder that the research really matters, and the fundraising really makes a difference.
Please help us honour Phill’s legacy and raise funds so that others can keep hope alive.
Join us on Sunday, 17th May, any time between 9:00am – 12:00pm - very relaxed with no format - you might want to have a cuppa and go, or hang around for a chat and listen to some live music... OR you can just make a donation here. Thanks in advance if you can!!
Donations to Cancer Council at the gate (tax receipts available).
Devonshire tea available.
10 years closer to a cure.

If you can't make it to Allora for our Biggest Morning Tea, please consider donating online to help us blow up our fundraising goal! Together, we can help Cancer Council raise much needed funds that go towards vital cancer research, support services, prevention programs, and advocacy. This event has been made possible by the help and support of many dear friends but also tangible help from Toowoomba East Skin Clinic (sponsor), Steele’s Bakery, Phill Vellacott (Musician), John and Peter Gordon (musicians), Allora IGA and Allora Show Society.
