Hostec participates in Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea

This year Hostec has decided to participate in Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea. The event is one of Cancer Council’s leading fundraising events and the largest, most successful of its’ kind with over $70 million being raised since it first began in 1994. Playing a vital role in raising money towards Cancer Council’s work in research, education, prevention and support, Hostec thought it would be a great way to give back and help raise funds for a great cause. Last year the event itself raised a HUGE $10.6 million. That’s crazy!

The main mission of Cancer Council Australia  is to minimise the threat of cancer to Australians, through successful prevention, best treatment and support.
