Suited and Booted: Cancer Fund for Children Prepare for the 2024 Daisy Ball

We are putting the final touches in place for the 2024 Daisy Ball, which will be at the Intercontinental Hotel, Dublin on Friday, 20th September

The annual Gala, hosted this year by Irish TV presenter Kathryn Thomas, invites guests to come together and enjoy an evening of fine dining and live entertainment whilst raise vital funds and awareness for families living with a childhood cancer diagnosis across the island of Ireland.

Cancer Fund for Children provide emotional, social and therapeutic support to children and young people (0-24yrs) living with a cancer diagnosis, as well as their parents and siblings. This support is provided at home, in hospital, in the community and at the short-break therapeutic centre, Daisy Lodge in Newcastle, Co. Down.

Plans are underway for a second Daisy Lodge therapeutic centre on the shores of Lough Corrib in Cong, Co. Mayo, with construction to commence later this year.

“We are excited to be on the countdown to this year’s Daisy Ball, which for the first time is taking place in the Intercontinental Hotel. This promises to be an amazing night of entertainment and most importantly, fundraising. We are sincerely grateful to Kingsbridge Private Hospital Group for sponsoring the Daisy Ball.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our supporting sponsors Elave Skincare, Yes Insurance and Camiral Golf & Wellness Resort.

As demand for our community and hospital-based services continues to increase across the island of Ireland all the funds raised from the Daisy Ball will help us ensure that no child has to face cancer alone.”

Bernadette McGarvey, Partnership and Philanthropy Manager

Those attending the Daisy Ball can expect an exquisite 4-course meal, goodie bags, a raffle and live auction, followed by music from the legendary Bentley Boys band, who will have a full 12-piece ensemble on the night!
