Sale of Sunflowers for Cystic Fibrosis Unit

01/10/2024

After the enormous success of the inaugural event in 2023, we honestly did not think it was possible that it would be surpassed.  It was. Philip Dunne in partnership with Elaine Timmins, along with support from their families, friends and community, created an acre of sunflowers. Building on the success of the first event, they enhanced it to be effectively a Festival of Sunflowers.

As well as the sunflowers, they had photo opportunities, ice cream and coffee stands, over two weekends and an additional Sunday. With this magnificent creativity and phenomenal hard work the brilliant sum of €9,635.52 was raised and contributed to the C.F. Unit in St. Vincent’s Hospital.

This now brings to almost €19,000 the contribution from Philip and Elaine’s efforts.

On behalf of our patients, we cannot overstate our appreciation.
