✨New categories ✨
We've seen so much creativity and teamwork in 2024 that we've created two new award categories to celebrate just how amazing you are.
Our Tabletop Teamwork award goes to our amazing hosts who have held a Longest Table as a group - this may be a community group, sports club, workplace, or business. We all know that teamwork goes a long way, but these hosts blew it out of the park!
The Forking Fabulous award goes to hosts who have showed they are a true legend in the fight against cancer. Whether they have gone above and beyond, dared to be different, or supported The Longest Table community in any way, this award is a shout-out to our legendary hosts! We see your dedication and applaud you!
Tabletop Teamwork – Penola Ladies and Wingham Gold Club
Forking Fabulous – Mackay North Beaches Bowls Club, Wardell CORE, Sharon White, and Amalia & Bianca
