On May 20th 2016 the family and friends of the late John Cullen are organising a fundraising golf outing in Naas Golf Club.
Later that day at 8.00pm there is a prizegiving celebration in O’Neill’s Bar in Maynooth. All proceeds are in support of Pancreatic Cancer care and research in St. Vincent’s.
Anyone wishing to support this event in any way can contact Michelle Cullen on 085 7532196
For the last seven years, Christine Kearney and her friends Catherine and Katie have organised two raffles each year, for Breast Cancer in St. Vincent’s.
Christine has completed her Easter Raffle 2016, with a magnificent display of prizes resulting in the raising of €3,025 for this critical medical area.
In total, Christine and her team have contributed almost €26,000 from these events.
Christine, Catherine & Katie always bring a wonderful sense of fun to their events and their efforts are really appreciated by our patients and visitors.
We are all indebted to them.
For many years now, Eamonn & Mary Burke from Arklow, have marked New Year’s Day with a fundraising swim. The event has grown over the years, with now over 50 people taking part and with huge support from the community.
This year they raised the magnificent amount of €4,365.00 bringing the total contribution to patient care for the Liver Unit in St. Vincent’s to over €34,000.
We are indebted to all concerned and particularly to Eamonn & Mary, great friends of St. Vincent’s.
As the dedicated Cystic Fibrosis Unit in St. Vincent’s, many of the patients in St. Christopher’s Ward spend long periods in the hospital.
Owing to the generosity of donors and fundraisers, we were able to organise investment in furnishing a Day Room to be a relaxed and comfortable environment for patients and their families.
The photograph below captures the pleasant environment. We are deeply grateful to so many supporters who have made this possible
From a range of fundraising activities, primarily the selling of Christmas Trees, the boys of St. Michael’s College support a huge range of charitable activities.
The College has been a consistent supporter of St. Vincent’s Foundation and, this year, presented €2,500 to be used towards the purchase of a training mannequin for the Emergency Department. This complements their earlier gift of an iSimulator, which has been of great benefit to the Department.

On the 16th October last, U.C.D. Medical Society held their annual charity day to support many worthy charities. St. Vincent’s is always included and we really appreciate this continued support.
On Med Day, hundreds of students took to the streets of Dublin to fundraise in bright attire and, with great energy and enthusiasm raised in excess of €27,000.
We were delighted to receive €1,500 for patient care, research and education here in St. Vincent’s. We are really grateful to the students, who each year, make this contribution.
Since 2009 St. Vincent’s has received €14,500 from UCD Med Day. This has been an enormous contribution to research and medical care in St. Vincent’s.
