    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.
