Ray White Oakey hosts Biggest Morning Tea
On Thursday 19th May, Ray White Rural Oakey raised money for the Cancer Council by hosting a free ‘Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea’ at their premises.
Office Manager Julie Byers said she was pleased with the outcome of the event.
“We keep on getting more donations coming in over the days, but at the last count we had raised $600 last week.
“Now I would say we are closer to $800.
“We’ve had donations from the Oakey Historical Society and the Post Office.
“As well as a lot of people in the community and older people.”
Ms Byers said the Ray White Rural Oakey office had always wanted to host some sort of morning tea and this was the perfect opportunity.
“All the food we didn’t eat on the day, we went and dropped off at local businesses who made donations,” she said.
“Then the next day we had people ringing up to see if we had any food leftover in exchange for more donations!
“We had a little money tin at the office entrance as well that locals would throughout the day put coins in, and every dollar counts.”
Ms Byers said even though it was a small event, the Oakey community had racked up a sizeable donation for the Cancer Council and she considers it a success.
