The Darkness Into Light Longford Town Committee held a table quiz and raffle in aid of Pieta on Saturday, November 11 in the Longford Rugby Club. The event raised €1,148, all of which was donated to Pieta.
In September, Ciarán Mullooly launched his third book ‘The Future is Now’ with a portion of the sale of each book going towards Pieta. Committee members attended the book launch helping sell books and share information about Pieta’s services. Ciarán’s generosity raised €500 for Pieta, which he gave to Irma Joyce (Pieta) on the night of the quiz.
This was the first table quiz and raffle organised by the committee, and they are still overwhelmed and grateful for the tremendous support and public-spiritedness of the local businesses who provided prizes and support for the event.
