Mercy House Mother’s Day Tea Returns to Binghamton

If you’re looking for something a little more special than the usual flowers and brunch this Mother’s Day, this might be exactly what you’ve been hoping for.

Mercy House of the Southern Tier is bringing back a local tradition with its 5th Annual Mother’s Day Tea.

A Mother’s Day Tradition Returns to Binghamton

The event is set for Sunday, May 3, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Binghamton, and it’s built around something simple but meaningful: spending quality time together.

Guests can expect a traditional high tea experience, complete with food, entertainment, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that’s meant to bring people together. Whether you’re celebrating your mom, bringing your kids, or just gathering with people you love, it’s designed to feel special without feeling stuffy.

The Woman Behind the Tea

There’s a personal story behind the tea, too. The tea honors the legacy of Cheryl Monachino, a founding board member and former president whose leadership helped shape Mercy House into what it is today: a quiet reminder that the people who build something good leave a mark that lasts.

Raffles, a Wine Pull, and Activities for Kids

This isn’t just about sipping tea and calling it a day. There will be raffle baskets, a wine pull, and kid-friendly activities, along with a dedicated children’s menu. So yes, you can absolutely make this a full family outing without worrying about keeping little ones entertained.

Tickets  Are Limited

Seating is limited, and if past years are any indication, this will sell out. So if you’re thinking about going, it’s probably one of those “don’t wait too long” situations. You can reserve your spot online or by calling Mercy House directly.

Where Your Ticket Money Goes

Every ticket sold goes toward something that matters. Proceeds from the tea go directly to Mercy House of the Southern Tier, which provides compassionate end-of-life care for people who can no longer remain at home. It’s a place where people are surrounded by loved ones, care, and dignity when they need it most.

Attending is a way to celebrate and give back at the same time, and the families Mercy House serves are grateful for every bit of it. Good food, good company, and a cause worth supporting: it’s a pretty hard combination to pass up.
