Breast cancer survivor Liza Cagorski is again hosting a pink high tea to raise money for those suffering from the insidious disease.
This March, Ms Cagorski will be partnering with Cancer Support Angels to raise money for individuals who are struggling while receiving treatment.
“This event is about raising awareness, it is important to establish a mindset to not be afraid and to get help and support,” she said.
The day will unfold with an array of food and drinks, a fashion runway presented by INTIMO, guest speakers, performances by Princess Jasmina of Melbourne, DJ entertainment, an auction and raffles.
Aiming to match last year’s $2,460 tally, Ms Cagorski is hopeful the day will prove a success and raise more for Cancer Support Angels.
“They are a charity that is dedicated to providing practical, emotional and financial support to patients and families throughout their cancer journey,” she said.
“All the money will go directly to helping these people pay medical bills or their electricity and so on.
“Being a non-profit, they rely on donations to keep running, so this is a strong initiative.”
Having survived breast cancer herself, this event is extremely close to Ms Cagorski’s heart.
“I am organising this event because I want to give back to my community and to the people that I know who love and support me,” she said.
“If I can help in some way for someone who is struggling, financially or emotionally, this afternoon will hopefully help people forget for a few hours to help them feel special and know they are part of a community.”
The event will be held on March 3 at the Yarraville Club.
