Some people look forward to being pampered on their birthday but not Lyn Howard, of Lyn’s Place, she is throwing open her doors and throwing a Ladies High Tea party to raise money for Bloomhill.
“I just want to do something worthwhile for a great local Sunshine Coast charity,” Lyn said.
The High Tea Ladies Luncheon will be held on 27th May at Lyn’s Place, Minyama, from 12noon until 2.30pm.
Bloomhill is very grateful for Lyn’s ongoing support which helps enable the charity to help people with cancer and their loved ones throughout the Sunshine Coast to live well with cancer.
“Like many others, I have been personally affected by cancer,” Lyn said.
“At the time there wasn’t any kind of organisation like Bloomhill around which is why I feel that it is so important to support such a unique and special charity.”
Bloomhill Cancer Help is based in Buderim and provides support and assistance to those affected by cancer. Operated by a team of dedicated staff and hundreds of volunteers, Bloomhill offers counselling, transport to appointments, respite care and a range of complimentary therapies and other services.
Bloomhill president Jenny Carroll said Bloomhill relied on the money raised through fundraising activities, OP shops, donations and grants to continue their high level of care and valuable services.
“The services we provide at Bloomhill are only made possible because of the generous support we receive from local businesses and people like Lyn.” Jenny said.
Lyn said she didn’t like being made a fuss of so celebrating her birthday by putting on a fundraiser for Bloomhill was perfect for her.
“I am thrilled that I am able to give something back to an organisation that constantly gives to others,” said Lyn.
The Ladies High Tea will be held from 12noon to 2.30pm at Lyn’s Place, 66 Jessica Boulevard. The lunch will include tea and coffee along with gourmet sandwiches, scones, a selection of cakes and sweets, quiches and croissants and plenty of lucky door prizes to giveaway for $40 per person, with profits going directly to Bloomhill.
Each table seats 8 people and places are limited. If you interested in eating good food with good company and supporting a worthwhile charity, please book your ticket by calling 5477 5420 or email lynhoward@bigpond.com.
