November 5, 2018 10:37 am Leave a Comment

For many years, Hazel Brack has gone to huge efforts to raise funds for this important medical area. She has organised many varied events with great success. The outstanding occasion each year is her Pink Day in Dunnes Stores in Cornelscourt where she works. With the store and staff appropriately turned out in pink, it makes for a great spectacle. More importantly it raises very significant funds each time for Breast cancer.

The 2018 event took place on October 26^th and raised €3,935. This means that, to date, Hazel has contributed almost €33,000 to care and research in Breast Cancer. On behalf of so many patients we want to say a big Thank You.

We recognise also this this couldn’t happen without the unstinting support of Management in Dunnes Stores and we thank each and every one of them also.
