Almost 170,000 Aussies will be diagnosed with cancer each year… that’s around 465 a day. But here’s the thing cancer doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed. It ripples out – through families, friends, workplaces, and entire communities. And if you’ve ever sat beside someone going through cancer, you already know the power of simply showing up, sharing a meal, and letting them know they’re not alone.
Entertaining for a cause
Every year, people like you open their homes, backyards, and community spaces to host a fundraising lunch or charity dinner event for life-changing cancer research.
With a community of over 1,800 hosts, you can help raise funds that go directly towards fighting cancer – from research to patient care services.
So, gather the people you love around a table (big or small), share a meal the way you want, and raise funds knowing 100% of the money you raise goes directly to cancer.
It’s your table. Your people. Your reason for showing up. Make it what you want!
SO WHY ARE PEOPLE HOSTING A LONGEST TABLE?
Ask any host and you’ll hear a different story – but the common thread running through all of them is the same…
They’re hosting in honour of someone they’ve lost. Someone they love who is still fighting. And most of all they believe in the power of research. That every dollar raised is a step closer to better treatments, earlier detection, and one-day a cure.
THE POWER OF A SHARED TABLE
There’s something about a meal that breaks down barriers. Conversations happen over food that wouldn’t happen anywhere else. Connections are made. Stories are told. And in the middle of it all, something significant is brewing – a community coming together to say #ForkCancer.
The Hospital Research Foundation Group’s Longest Table turns the everyday act of sharing a meal into something that funds the future of cancer research in Australia.
ARE YOU READY TO HOST?
You don’t need a big house or to cook up a storm. All you need is a table, some good food, and the people who matter most to you ready to fight cancer.
Register as a host today, gather your people, share a meal and together we can #ForkCancer.
