Bailieborough Shamrocks : Press Release from the Club: Update from our Fundraising Committee
Hi everyone:
To each and every person that has bought a ticket for our Win a Dublin City Apartment or €250,000 cash draw we thank you very much.
This fundraising campaign is a once in a life time opportunity for our club, our town and communities that surround us. Our objective has not changed, we want to raise enough funds to create an incredible indoor and outdoor community facility with physical and mental health at its very core.
At present, we are not exactly at where we want to be. We have now taken the very difficult decision to postpone our draw, which now will take place on 11th July 2022.
This gives us the opportunity to raise the much needed funds to achieve our goals.
We appreciate your understanding on this matter.
‘Difficult Conversations’ webinar taking place on this Thursday the 17th of February at19:30. A completely free event in conjunction with the HSE. Head over to www.eventbrite.ie to register or click the link on our Facebook page.
