Ballinruane Charity Barndance is back!

DUST off your cowboots to dance the night away at Ballinruane Charity Barndance which takes place on August 26 2017 in Kilmeedy, Co. Limerick in aid of the Garden Project Oncology Ward, Cork University Hospital.

The concept of the Barndance as a fundraiser has captured the spirit of thousands of people over the past number of years.

Year on year the Barndance grew in success, and in the four year period (2011 – ‘14) Barndance has raised an over whelming €79,408.65.

The beneficiaries have been St. Gabriel’s School and Centre, Dooradoyle, Limerick, The Jasmine Ward, St. Ita’s Hospital, Newcas-

tle West, Pieta House Limerick, St. John’s Ward, Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin and Dromcollogher Respite Centre, Dromcollagher Co. Limerick.

Barndance committee decided to revive Barndance in 2017 to raise funds for a private seated garden area for patients, family and staff of the oncology ward in Cork University Hospital. The excellent oncology services at CUH are used by hundreds of people in the Munster region. The private garden will be located adjacent to the ward allowing patients direct independent access. It will offer patients and their families an opportunity to retreat from the busy hospital environment and find a little time to relax, get some fresh air and enjoy the uplifting benefits of a vibrant garden.

Tickets cost €50, incl 8 free drinks, live entertainment from “The Stars” followed by the The Glory Days Of Disco with Ex 2fm DJ legend Mickey Mac, Tally Ho’s pop up restaurant serving Bacon and Cabbage and BBQ, followed by Adare Farm Foods handmade ice cream.

Tickets are available at www. Eventbrite.com or via facebook; tickets will not be sold on the night.
