Supporting local women living with gynaecological cancers

Host a Lilac & Lace tea party and help beat Ovarian Cancer

March is Ovarian Cancer awareness month and GRACE is asking you to host a 'Lilac & Lace' tea party and help raise funds for local women living with the disease.

What's it all about?

A Lilac & Lace tea party is a great excuse to dine out in style, or host an informal coffee morning, and help beat Ovarian Cancer at the same time. Taking part couldn't be easier – all you need to do is follow our guide for success.

Hints and tips

Set a date, time and venue for your Lilac & Lace tea party and work out the best sort of format for your event. It doesn't have to be a tea party either. You could always have a themed drinks evening instead.

The most important thing is using it to raise vital awareness of Ovarian Cancer with you your friends and/or colleagues.

Here's our quick guide:

  • Find a venue – either at home or in a local restaurant or coffee shop
  • Invite as many friends or colleagues as you can muster
  • Get the tea and coffee on the boil/chill the wine
  • Ensure there are plenty of cakes and or cream teas/scones, or biscuits
  • Generate some ideas to help raise funds – raffles; donations; auctions;
  • cake sale
  • Make sure you and your guests have a great time while helping
  • GRACE with our quest to beat Ovarian Cancer!

Add a touch of lilac colour to finish – some ideas to get you started

  • Some lovely spring time flowers
  • Pretty ribbon tied around a vase
  • Wear something purple and ask your guests to do the same!

Thank you for helping GRACE to raise money to beat Ovarian Cancer.
