Beautiful You Cancer Charity High Tea Fundraiser brings support and style to Wangaratta

The Wangaratta community is invited to come together for a heartwarming and elegant event, the Beautiful You Cancer Charity High Tea Fundraiser on Saturday, October 11, from 10:30am to 2pm at the Wangaratta Turf Club. This special event is the major annual fundraiser for the Beautiful You Program, a charity with a proud 25-year history of supporting women through their cancer journey. Founded by Wangaratta local Debbie Clayton after her mother, Terry Heffernan, lost her battle to breast cancer on the 1 October 1999, the program provides vital services such as house cleaning, beauty treatments, wigs, and food vouchers to women undergoing cancer treatment. Debbie Clayton said the day promises to be both meaningful and fun. “Attendees can expect a vibrant atmosphere with guest speakers, including Kerrin Elliott from the Wangaratta oncology ward and a local cancer patient sharing their story,” she said. "There’ll also be raffles and a fashion parade featuring Taking Shape from Shepparton and Chooks Clothing from Bright.” In a charming twist, guests are encouraged to bring their own cup and saucer, perhaps one with sentimental value. “It could have belonged to your mum or grandparents,” Debbie said. “It’ll add a lot of colour and personality to the tables.” Debbie emphasised the importance of community involvement. “Anybody and everybody, male and female, are welcome," she said. "If we don’t support these community events, we can’t help those going through cancer. "That’s why we need local businesses and individuals to get behind it and make it a success. “Please support this event knowing that you will be helping the women of Wangaratta and surrounding areas going through cancer with house cleaning, beauty treatments, wigs, and food vouchers." Tickets are available at https://events.humanitix.com/BEAUTIFUL-YOU-HIGH-TEA-FUNDRAISER, and all proceeds go directly to supporting local women in need. For those seeking assistance, applications can be made via the Beautiful You Program website at beautifulyouprogram.org.au/get-support. Mark your calendars and bring your teacups, this is one event not to miss.
