"Spooktacular" Halloween Fancy Dress in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland

02 October 2009

A "Spooktacular" Halloween Fancy Dress will be held on Friday 30th October at The Wallis Arms Hotel in Millstreet, with all proceeds raised going to the Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland (CFAI).

Organised by Aubane Social Club and The Wallis Arms, this annual charity event promises to be a fun filled night with music by The Celts at 9pm followed by Mad Dave DJ, a delicious barbeque with O'Leary Family Butchers, super raffle and of course prizes for the "Best Costumes".

Guests will be able to bid of fantastic items such as signed Munster and Ireland Rugby Jerseys, a Laptop worth €2,000, two weeks in an apartment in Portugal, Spa Treatments at The Brehon and much more in the Charity Auction, with proceeds going directly towards Cystic Fibrosis (CF) facilities in Cork University Hospital.

Organiser, Aine Collins from the Aubane Social Club said "This year we decided that all funds raised will go to CFAI. In January of this year, my daughter Lilly Cassidy was diagnosed with CF, and this brought CF to the forefront of our minds. Children born today with CF can expect to live near normal, full and productive lives, provided that the correct facilities are in place; and monies we raise will go a long way to ensuring this becomes a reality." 

Tickets for the Halloween Fancy Dress are €10 each and will be available on the night. Up to 1,000 people are expected to attend. Donations can also be made in advance of the event by phoning Aine Collins on (087) 2326945 or by sending a cheque made payable to "Annual Charity Fund" to the Wallis Arms Hotel, Millstreet.
