Ms Warner said she began hosting teas in memory of her six-year-old daughter, who lost her battle to cancer 22 years ago.
"After the loss of my daughter I became involved with this worthy cause," she said.
"This is my way to give back and assist with ongoing cancer research."
Last year more than 200 people attended Ms Warner's Biggest Morning Tea, which ended up raising $11,915 from community donations.
During the last 20 years Ms Warner has raised $90,635 for the Cancer Council.
She said she hoped this year's event would generate enough money to reach her goal of $100,000.
"Hosting is not only fun but is also a great way to gather the community together, it's just a really friendly atmosphere," she said
"I encourage anyone in the Southern Highlands to register to host and support such a great cause."
Ms Warner's Tea will have a trading table of jams, sewing and hand-knitted items, as well as a raffle with prizes donated by more than 20 local businesses including Burrawang General Local Store.
Meanwhile, Ms Warner has assured that this would not be her last year of fundraising.
"It's hard to know how many more I'll do, but this year isn't the last one," she said.
Meanwhile, Moss Vale's Corrine Parish will host her tea at Moss Vale Services Club today.
Ms Parish has hosted a morning tea for the past four years, raising more than $4000 in that time.
"I just think it's such a good cause," Ms Parish said.
"Everyone is affected by cancer in some way."
Last year Ms Parish's event raised more than $1000 and she said she planned to collect even more today.
Moss Vale Services Club has donated its space for the event.
Ms Parish's tea will be held from 10.00am today.
Mrs Warner's 21st Biggest Morning Tea will be held from 9am to 12pm tomorrow at Burrawang School of Arts.
