  1. Glen Hatton Charity

    Leave a Comment

    In memory of Glen Hatton from County Wexford, his family conducted a major fundraising series to raise money for patient care in St. Vincent’s.

    Together with their friends and neighbours, Glen’s parents David & Fran and his sisters Hazel & Lisa, organised a range of events which together produced the incredible sum of almost €60,000 donated to the hospital. This money will be a major contributor to the environment and positive outcomes for our patients. We are really grateful to the Hatton family and all who helped.

    Each Year the St. Vincent’s Rugby Club has supported specific causes in the hospital and this year has again been an outstanding performance. Mirroring the Club’s success on the pitch, the Club contributed a fantastic sum of €4,600 to this year’s supported cause – Breast Cancer Research.

    The annual Club Ball was held on 1st March last. The Ball was a wonderful success with a €3,600 surplus. Our thanks for all who supported and sponsored this event

    The Rugby Charity Ball committee also organised a Bag Pack in Merrion Shopping Centre on 30th March last which raised €1,000.

    Our sincere thanks to Ben Creavin and his committee in St. Vincent’s Rugby Club for their hard work and dedication in organising these two major events. We wish the incoming committee every success in the new season.

    Leave a Comment

    Jillian McNulty, a patient of the Cystic Fibrosis Unit in St. Vincent’s Hospital, lead a group of cyclists from Carrick-on-Shannon to Dublin over a 4 day journey. Starting out on Friday June 21st they arrived triumphantly into St Vincent’s on Monday 24th to a welcoming audience of staff and supporters. Jillian and her team were blessed with good weather for the trip.

    Supported along the way by fundraising events, the group raised €4,500 which is shared between C.F. Ireland and C.F. care in St. Vincent’s University Hospital.

    As well as our gratitude to Jillian and the other brave cyclists, we express our thanks to Jillian’s parents, Frank and Fionnuala, her family, friends and the families and friends of all the participants. It was a poignant event for some of the cyclists who themselves had lost loved ones to C.F.

    Gillian is also organising a fundraising evening in Longford on 16th August. We will provide details under “Events” in due course.
