The Ladies Auxiliary of the Cyprus Community of South Australia recently raised $4,000 during an afternoon tea to support HeartKids.
More than 160 people attended the afternoon tea, which took place at the Cultural Centre of the Cyprus Community in Welland.
The Ladies Auxiliary has a history spanning 49 years and is the longest-standing subcommittee of the Cyprus Community.
Guest speaker Tania Potts spoke about the purpose and actions of HeartKids, while Thanasis Iliopoulos shared his personal experiences with his daughter’s own health complications.
The speeches were then followed by an afternoon tea that featured sandwiches and a range of desserts while live entertainment played in the background.
The President of the Ladies Auxiliary, Thekla Petrou, extended her gratitude to everyone for their support.
“I would like to thank Drakes stores for their financial support, as well as Thanasis Iliopoulos for his cooperation and assistance,” Ms Petrou said.
“I also want to express my gratitude to everyone who contributed in any way to the success of the event, especially the Board of the Ladies’ Auxiliary, and the unsung heroines who always work for the betterment and elevation of the name of the Cypriot community.”
