PINK MOTHER'S DAY AFTERNOON TEA AT SHERATON MELBOURNE HOTEL

Sheraton Melbourne Hotel will be holding a pink Mother's Day Afternoon Tea on Sunday 13 May, 2018. The Afternoon Tea is in support of the McGrath Foundation's mission to raise money to fund McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia and increase breast health understanding and awareness.

McGrath Foundation Ambassador and Director, Tracy Bevan, says the McGrath Foundation continues to be blown away by the support from Australian communities, which directly helps the Foundation in its mission to ensure every family in Australia experiencing breast cancer has access to a breast care nurse no matter where they live – and always free.

“We are proud to have funded 119 McGrath Breast Care Nurses working nationally who, together, have supported more than 60,000 families going through breast cancer. Events like this are truly helping us to make a difference; we couldn't do it without you,” Tracy said.

Peter Minatsis, General Manager at Sheraton Melbourne Hotel , says “We are proud to have the opportunity to partner with the McGrath Foundation and to be able to support such a great charity and cause.”

About The McGrath Foundation. Ours is a story with simple – but well-known – beginnings. It started with Jane and Glenn McGrath's very public experience with breast cancer, and has become one of Australia's most recognised and respected charities, the McGrath Foundation.

Jane McGrath's experience with her breast care nurse set the mission for the Foundation, which has become an enduring commitment to support thousands of women and men (and their families) every day, no matter where they live – for free. Since 2005, more than 60,000 families have been supported by a McGrath Breast Care Nurse. We raise funds to place McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia.
