Sisters Keeper, a group which meets weekly, organised the Australia's Biggest Morning Tea event.

Sisters Keeper leader Colleen Palmer said the group was always looking to make a difference in the community.

"Nearly everyone has been impacted by cancer in some way," Mrs Palmer said.

The fundraiser on Friday, June 21 had a $1500 target.

Mrs Palmer said she thought the fundraising target would be exceeded.

Australia's Biggest Morning Tea events bring together people to raise funds to make a big difference to those impacted by cancer.

Fundraisers are staged across the country in May and June.

Australia's Biggest Morning Tea helps fund Cancer Council's research, prevention, support programs and information.
