BRIAN DUNBAR CLAY PIGEON SHOOT
It was a very joyous occasion when family and friends of Brian Dunbar gathered in Craanford Sports Complex for the cheque presentation to two worthy causes namely friends of St Luke’s Hospital and Beaumont Hospital Foundation.
Following an extremely successful clay pigeon shoot both charity groups benefited by €4,040 each to be spent in Brian’s memory in making a difference to the lives of patients and family members who need to spend time in St Luke’s and in Beaumont.
All present were overwhelmed with the generosity of spirit and of support given to this event which was so close to Brian’s heart. Heartfelt thanks and appreciation are expressed to so many who gave so much of their time on the day, to all who supported the shoot and to all who gave wonderful donations of prizes and delicious refreshments on the day.
