Thank you also to Lisa Moran who carried out the head shaving on the night and a huge thank you to everyone who helped sell raffle tickets, sponsored prizes for the raffle and auction, DJ Cush for entertainment on the night, Eddie’s Bar management and staff for their support, Seamus Connolly for his auctioneering skills on the night and everyone who supported the event.
