Dennis ‘The Menace’ Priestly and Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor entertained a full house at the Anglers Rest on Friday March 26th with a special Charity getting a boost.

Event organiser Denis O’ Mahony of The Anglers Rest kindly auctioned a Darts Board signed by the famous players for the charity. Breffny Morgan was in attendance and in particularly good form and brought along with him a signed Cork Hurling Jersey fetching €250 for the ‘Survival Kit’s For Parents’ appeal.

Close to €2000 was raised on the night both Alan Beechinor and Youghal native Niamh Parker, sang the praises of a number of Cork Business’s who donated fantastic prizes for the raffle especially Denis O’ Mahony and staff for their support. Hotel breaks, Hair and Spa packages and Restaurant vouchers were raffled. “We would like to thank everybody for giving so generously especially in tough economic times”. Red FM also gave their support by running a competition for the Event.

Funding is at an all time low at the hospital and most fundraisers for Our Lady’s children Hospital in Crumlin is pumped into necessary medical research. After spending time in the hospital the couple noticed a lack of basic facilities. “Cosy fleece blankets, towels and wash bags are some of the items going into the packs, it could take a few days for family members to get to you and in our experience parents do not want to leave their Child to get the basics”. This is the first of many events for this appeal.
