Our sincere thanks to Elaine Murphy from Arklow, County Wicklow who organised a coffee morning and cake sale recently.
This most successful event raised a total of €1,400. This was divided equally between Breast Cancer Care here in St. Vincent’s and St. Luke’s Hospital.
We are delighted to receive €700 for this important medical area.
Shiona Murphy along with family and friends organised a fundraising Ladies Lunch on Saturday 22nd October 2016 at the Hampton Hotel, with all proceeds going to the important medical area of Breast Cancer. As well as fundraising, the event commemorated Shiona’s mother, the late Noreen Armstrong.
The function room was most welcoming and wonderfully presented and it was obvious that everyone was having a great time.
During the afternoon and evening Shiona and her fellow organisers had arranged a fundraising raffle which added to the success and fun.
Vero Moda Fashion stores supported the fundraising with a collection, in 20 of their stores and boosted the contribution to this vital cause.
In total €10,034.43 was raised from all the activities. This magnificent result is huge credit to the efforts and professionalism of the fundraisers.
We are grateful to everyone who made this such a success but particular thanks are due to Shiona, Michelle, Theresa, Aoife, and Maeve.

Christine and her friends Catherine and Katie had 50 wonderfully presented prizes, which made a great display in the hospital.
On the day of the raffle, the three of them were very scarily turned out, as captured in the photos below!
We are grateful to all who made this happen by donating prizes and selling tickets. We want to particularly thank the staff of the main reception in St. Vincent’s who contributed enormously to the sales in the couple of weeks beforehand.
A particularly big “Thank You” to Christine.

The Carrickmacross Baptist Church Community had a Family Fun day at the Woodlands Christian Centre on July 9th 2016 to fundraise for the Liver Transplant Unit in St. Vincent’s Hospital.
Despite the unseasonably bad weather, the event raised almost €1,000 for this most worthy cause.
The creativity of Rer. Colin Creighton, Anne Daly and the organising committee overcame the challenges of the weather to ensure that everyone had an enjoyable day.
