Craft a Cure for Cancer

Toys to Treasure

'Craft cure for Cancer' has now raised over $62,000 for the Cancer Council, through the efforts of hundreds of generous craftspeople, who donate their beautiful handmade creations. We then sell the goods at markets and exhibitions; we only sell at venues where we are welcomed with no out of pocket expenses. 100% of the money raised is donated.

Check out our Cancer Council donation page at

Our next fundraiser is 'Toys to Treasure'.

You can help us Craft a Cure for Cancer by making and donating a handmade soft toy for our pre Christmas market stalls.

We'll be selling toys at the Warratina Lavender Open Garden Weekend, on 30th November and 1st December. For details of the event, go to https://warratinalavender.com.au/event/open-garden-weekend/.

Also, our toys will be on sale at the Park Orchards Market in November and December,

Please post your toy donation to Craft a Cure for Cancer, PO Box 109, East Ringwood, Victoria, Australia, 3135.

Using your craft skills to fundraise for the Cancer Council is a great way to help fund research and support programs, and ultimately find a cure.

Congratulations Kaye Whitney, winner of the $250 cash prize for the best tea cosy, in the Tea Cosy Competition 2019.

Yes!! It is a tea cosy; you need to look closely to see the handle and spout of the teapot. All of the children who live in the shoe are engaged in different activities....A very impressive tea cosy!!
There were several other tea cosies that impressed the judges, including a beautiful felted and embroidered cottage, and a wicked witch.
