PSA Annual Charity Ball 2010 - in aid of The Alzheimers Society of Ireland

posted 18th Feb < back to all events

The PSA Annual Charity Ball 2010 in association with UlsterBank and in aid of The Alzheimer Society of Ireland

 

Will take place on Friday the 26th of February (NEXT FRIDAY) in the Limerick Strand Hotel.

 

Tickets are at the reduced rate of €35 and are available from my office (PSA Common Room) and ULSU reception.

Dinner will start as close to 7.30pm as possible so please be punctual as we cannot delay the evening waiting on stragglers. Dinner will be followed by a performance by Nugget and postgrad DJ and the man behind the Treehouse – David Morrissey who will keep the party going well into Saturday morning. Nugget have played for us before at the Movember Madness Bash last semester where they quite simply blew us away so we asked them back. Hotpress have labeled them “Boostsy Collins Aficionados” and if you want to check them out before the Ball go to www.myspace.com/nuggetfunk.

 

We are hosting this evening in conjunction with our very kind sponsors Ulsterbank – without whom the night could not be half as successful so thank you to all at Ulsterbank for all their support so far. Their support will help us to raise as much as possible for our chosen charity – the Alzheimer's Society of Ireland. We aim to raise as much as possible in our bid to support the Alzheimer's Society as we support their bid to build the first respite centre in Ireland outside of Dublin. Waterman's Lodge will serve dementia patients and their carer’s from throughout the entire mid-west. All proceeds from the Ball and any raffles on the night will go directly to helping this worthy cause from our local community.

Why Alzheimer's?
