Cliona’s Christmas Ball Gives You the Opportunity to Make a Difference
Cliona’s Foundation are proud to present their inaugural Christmas ball on Thursday 7th December in the iconic 5 Star ANANTARA Marker Hotel in the heart of Dublin and are looking for your support.
The black-tie event will be hosted by their ambassador & founder of SOSU Cosmetics, Suzanne Jackson and is very generously supported by Dublin Chamber member Huawei.
It promises to be a memorable night with a drinks reception at 7pm, followed by a three course meal with wine, a live auction and a fantastic night of music by The Solids and the renowned DJ Sax appeal.
It would be perfect for your corporate Christmas party or a Christmas gathering of family or friends.
Cliona’s Foundation is a national charity that was set up by Brendan and Terry Ring, following the death of their daughter Cliona, from an inoperable brain tumour in 2006 aged 15. Over the years, as Cliona underwent numerous different hospital treatments, Brendan and Terry were struck by the number of families, facing enormous financial hardship, on the brink of financial free-fall, blindsided by non-medical expenses piling up. They saw at first-hand the enormous toll it took on these families, already struggling to cope with the nightmare of having a seriously ill child. They decided to take action and set up Cliona’s Foundation, in honour of their daughter, a charity that provides financial assistance to families with children who have life limiting conditions.
Over the past 15 years they have supported over 1,300 families across 24 Counties. This year to date they have supported 185 families and distributed €329,000.
Your presence at the Ball is an opportunity to make a difference this Christmas to the many families struggling financially with their child’s diagnosis & treatment . Families similar to the one below who are near breaking point.
“You will never know how much it meant to us being in Crumlin 5 ½ months with our son. It was bad enough him being so sick, but all the added expenses of just trying to maintain our home too along with living in Dublin and even just trying to have money for travelling up and down and eating was near impossible. The cheque we received was a godsend and came at the right time for us as we were at breaking point”
Tables of 10 are available for €2,000 & individual tickets for €220
