THE YOUGHAL CANCER SUPPORT GROUP held an innovative fundraising night on Saturday night, June 11th in the local Rugby Club.  The theme of the night was a GiGi’s Reunion and the turnout and support for the event was fantastic.

Therese O’Connell, Chairwomen of the Youghal Cancer Support Group told The East Cork Journal that they are so grateful to everyone for their help, and in particular would like to thank Marie and Karlaigh Trihy for coming up with the great idea for this fundraiser.   Marie worked tirelessly over the past few months to make sure that it was a great success. To her sister, Eleanor and Tara O’Connell, for helping to get things organised and for all their hard work.

A big thank you to DJ’S Mossie Tatten and Fergal Coleman for giving their services free of charge and helping to bring the musical memories of GIGI’S back. The Date Auction was different, innovative and needed courage to enter, so thanks to all who did. They were indeed very brave! The MISS GIGI’S competition was a great success and congratulations to popular winner, Silvia Flaherty, who was crowned Miss GiCi 2011.  The worthy runner up Vickie O’Shea. To everyone who sponsored prizes for the night, we are very grateful.    A special thank you to Youghal Rugby Club for their kind permission to use their great venue which was superb.

 

To all who came along to support our fundraising drive for Youghal Cancer Support Group, we must say a huge THANK YOU.  Without your support, the night would not have been the great success it was.   We do appreciate it.
