Hi everyone, what a night! Thank you so much to everyone who took part and made it so wonderful. We raised €498,10!!! 🎉🎉🎉
With this I have now raised €1243.10 in total for Temple Street and surpassed my goal. This simply would not have been possible without the incredible support I received from friends, family, my local community and even people who I had just met. I could not have wished for a better crowd, and am so impressed by the generosity of the people I have got to know on this journey.
I'd like to say thank you to Tom and Barry at Kennedy's Bar Union Café Dublin for their unwavering support, Sound Lease for having so generously donated their equipment for the evening and all our fantastic musicians who brought this event into another league altogether.
From pop, trad and jazz, Niamh, Claire, Catherine, Nathon, Kevin, Shane; Amelia & Evan from Ucd JazzSoc; and Seamus, Marianna, Ciara, Sorcha, Mary-Therese and Tiffany from Tradsoc UCD had us covered! I have never seen so much talent in one room.
Thank you to Jenny who helped me organise entertainment, Terri and Ali, my mentor from 100minds for helping me on this wonderful journey, and also to all the donors of the wonderful raffle prizes!
Finally thank you to all those who dug deep and bought all those raffle tickets. There were so many of you and you were all so generous and the fact that we were able to reach this achievement is all thanks to you!
