The annual Breast Cancer Research Valentine’s Ball takes place this year in The Ardilaun Hotel, Galway on Saturday, 13 February at 7.30 pm. For over a decade, this black tie event has been organised by the charity’s Galway voluntary fundraising committee and is a key occasion on the Galway community’s social calendar.
The evening gala will begin with a drinks reception, followed by a four-course dinner. The Lewd Tunes will provide post-dinner entertainment, followed by a DJ Kevin Belton for late night music. Prionsias Kitt will be attending the event and hosting a post-dinner fundraising auction. Some auction items include a luxury luggage set by Dubarry of Ireland, an Olga Magliocco painting, and a VIP trip with Spirit of Ireland Executive Travel.
Johanna Downes, voluntary fundraiser and director for Breast Cancer Research, encourages supporters to attend the event on Saturday, 13 February, “The Valentine’s Ball is a wonderful event in aid of an important cause. Funds raised from the event will help contribute to vital breast cancer research at NUI Galway.”
