FORMER Republic of Ireland goalkeeper and Lifford native Shay Given will be the special guest at the annual Breast Cancer Ball which will take place in December.

Details of the annual fundraising event have been announced – the charity ball  taking place at the Silver Tassie Hotel, Letterkenny  on Friday, December 5.

This much loved event has become a highlight of the winter calendar, where friends, families, and community come together for an unforgettable evening.

And the organisers say they are thrilled to announce that their very special guest will be Shay Given, the legendary former Irish goalkeeper.

Tickets for the event will go on sale from Monday, October 6 with all proceeds directly supporting the vital services provided by the North West Breast Cancer Centre, helping those affected by breast cancer in the region.

Committee Members Marie Lynam and Kelley Proctor help launch this year’s charity ball.

The event will include fine cuisine, entertainment, music and an opportunity to connect with others who are passionate about making a difference in the fight against breast cancer.  

It’s more than just a night out – it’s a chance to give back to a community cause that touches many lives.

Guests will enjoy champagne on arrival, a delicious four-course dinner and dancing into the night with live music and entertainment from the Beefsteak Dancers with  the ever popular Noel Cunningham in the role of MC.

The ticket price is €60. With demand expected to be high, the organising committee encourages everyone to book early. There will be an exciting raffle and auction on the night so keep an eye on the event’s Facebook and Instagram pages in the next few weeks for more information.

All tickets can be purchased at the Silver Tassie Hoel, Letterkenny on 074 91 25619.  The hotel is once again offering its hugely successful overnight accommodation on a Bed & Breakfast basis

So why not get a group together and get along for a tremendous and joy-filled night in the lead up to Christmas.
