  1. Business Partners Update

    Leave a Comment

    Our Business Partners are a very important element of fundraising. As well as new partners we are really grateful to those who continue support, some for the third year. The continued support of our Business partners is very important to the hospital and helps us to improve our patient environment.

    For the first time we are delighted to welcome Home Instead Senior Care as a Business Partner of St. Vincent’s Foundation. Home Instead is the largest home care provider in Ireland and supports many of our patients and former patients. We hope that the partnership with St. Vincent’s will be a fruitful one.

    Almost since St. Vincent’s Foundation started, Fannin Healthcare and SRCL have been active supporters. We thank them both sincerely for renewing again as Business Partners. We are delighted that Baxter Healthcare and AIB Bank have also renewed their partnership. Their long-term commitment is most welcome and appreciated.

    Our grateful thanks to all our Business Partners and we look forward to working with them.

  2. Mary Aikenhead & Nutley Suites

    Leave a Comment

    When the Mary Aikenhead and Nutley end of life suites were developed in St Vincent’s University Hospital they were warmly welcomed by families supporting very ill patients. As a result of staff and family suggestions, we have introduced comment books in the suites which are financed by donor support. These enable families to record their thoughts at a very emotional time for them.

    Leave a Comment

    Friends and family of the late Cian Costello raised almost €12,000 for Cystic Fibrosis, in a Gala Fundraiser in Boyle, County Roscommon.

    In memory of the late C.F. patient Cian Costello from Ballyfarnon, Boyle, County Roscommon – Lisa Gaffney & Declan Killoran along with many supporters and friends organised a Gala Fundraiser night centred on a Table Quiz in Kilronan Castle Ballyfarnon, County Roscommon on Saturday 3rd March last. The quiz was followed by a great night’s entertainment.

    Cian was a master of Table Quizes and everybody wanted him on their team. For this reason they decided that a Table Quiz was a suitable way to remember Cian. The local community generously supported this event.

    The event raised the outstanding sum of almost €12,000 for C.F. care in St. Vincent’s. We are deeply indebted to Cian’s family and friends.

    Our long-term supporter, Christine Kearney, availed of the Easter period to stage another novel fundraiser for Breast Cancer in St. Vincent’s. Dressed as Easter Bunnies, with terrific costumes and make-up, they held a raffle and bucket collection in the hospital on Easter Sunday. The atmosphere was great and a tremendous success raising over €900. Well done.
