06.10.08.To date Tony, nearly €40,000 has been raised by the different fund raising activities carried out by local people and also by the many private donations that have been made to the fund, the committee are so grateful to all the people who have contributed so far and Gretta is astounded by the support she is getting and really appreciates it.

Sinead Reilly and the Spinners from the Combined Clubs in Balbriggan raised over €3900 doing their sponsered spinathon, fair play to all involved and we hope they weren't too saddle sore after it!! There are a few more events in the coming weeks and we would appreciate all the support we can get.

A Fun Kareoke night will be held in O'Dwyers GAA Club on the 17th October

A Band night will be held in the Milestone Inn on the 14th of November

A Quiz night is being organised and the date will be announced shortly.

Thanks again Tony
