WESTPORT Lions Club is hosting a charity ball on Friday, March 22, in the Dome Suite at the Castlecourt Hotel to raise funds for Childhood Cancer Ireland.

In response to people wishing to donate to the charity, an idonate page has also been opened. The link to support is https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/WestportLions.

Westport Lions Club is one of 92 clubs from all over Ireland and is part of a worldwide network of over 1.45 million members.

This year the Irish Lions Clubs are partnering up with Childhood Cancer Ireland. This is a parent and survivor-led charity to promotes awareness of Childhood Cancer in Ireland.

Childhood Cancer Ireland works with hospitals nationwide to upgrade their treatment facilities and also offer help to families through advice, understanding and psychosocial support programmes such as peer-to-peer support, workshops, play and psychotherapy for siblings and children, adolescents and young adults who have received a cancer diagnosis.
