Friends of Moyneyana House president Margaret Whitehead said the fundraiser attracted groups who enjoyed celebrating cup day together.
Mrs Whitehead said prizes were awarded to lady of the day and the best hat before the crowd cheered on the day’s favourites.
“There’s lots of raffle prizes and lots of sweeps on the day,” Ms Whitehead said.
“It’s a day everyone enjoys and they keep coming back."
Proceeds day will be donated to Moyne Health Services for the Moyneyana Hostel 25 room refurbishment.
Mrs Whitehead said in the past the event had helped purchase a $10,000 oven for the hospital kitchen.
The group also presented a cheque for $100,000 earlier this year towards the construction of the new community health building with funds raised from the lunch.
The festivities start at noon. To book contact Margaret on 5568 1443 or Lyn Brown on 5568 1266
