Galway Charities Receive €20,000 Boost from Cathaoirleach’s Ball

URGENT UPDATE: Two charities in Galway have just received a significant financial boost from the recent Cathaoirleach’s Ball, raising a remarkable €20,000 for local causes. The funds are earmarked for the Oranmore Maree Coastal Search Unit and the Hand in Hand Children’s Cancer Charity, highlighting the power of community support.

The event, hosted by Councillor Martina Kinane, took place earlier this month and brought together generous attendees dedicated to making a difference. During the presentation of the cheques, Kinane emphasized the profound impact that community solidarity can achieve, stating, “This is a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we come together in generosity and goodwill.”

The funds raised will directly support the crucial work of both charities, which play vital roles in their respective areas. The Oranmore Maree Coastal Search Unit provides essential search and rescue services along the coastline, while the Hand in Hand Children’s Cancer Charity offers critical support to families navigating the challenges of childhood cancer.

This generous contribution comes at a time when both organizations are seeking to enhance their services and outreach. The €20,000 will help bolster their operations, ensuring they can continue to provide vital assistance to those in need.

As the community rallies behind these causes, the success of the Cathaoirleach’s Ball serves as a testament to the collective effort and spirit of Galway residents. With continued support, these charities can expand their impact and reach even more families facing difficult situations.

WHAT’S NEXT: Community members are encouraged to participate in upcoming fundraising initiatives to sustain this momentum. As local charities continue to rely on generous donations, events like the Cathaoirleach’s Ball are crucial for their ongoing success.
