The sound of old friends catching up spread throughout the venue as guests enjoyed a cup of tea or coffee alongside some homemade cheese and ham scones, and original scones to accompany the jam and cream.
Centre manager Karen Fuller said the morning was very successful as they raised $552.75.
"We're just thrilled with the generosity of people who were able to contribute," she said.
"We raised more than we expected."
Ms Fuller said it was a great experience for their students who collected coffee orders and made them.
"They did a great job," she said.
Guests were kept busy with a wordsearch and other little games that had prizes up for grabs.
Ms Fuller said they also had a raffle and lucky door prizes with donation entries adding towards the final total raised.
Research shows almost one in two Australians are diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85.
