The County Tipperary Chamber of Commerce brought the community together for a night of nostalgia and goodwill, raising over €6,000 at their Charity 80's Night held at the Talbot Hotel Clonmel. The funds raised will benefit C.A.R.E., a commendable local organization dedicated to supporting those affected by cancer in South Tipperary and the surrounding areas.

 

The event recreated the electric atmosphere of the 1980s, complete with dancing, an authentic DJ set spinning classic 80's tracks, and a charity raffle. The setting was enhanced by a vibrant 80’s-themed balloon arch, generously sponsored by Balloonmania by J’s, setting the tone for a night to remember.

 

Support from local businesses was phenomenal, with The Cashel Palace Hotel, Tom Ryan Casey Photography and Video, The Abbey Court Hotel Nenagh, The Showgrounds Shopping Centre Clonmel, Value Centre Clonmel, and Great National Ballykisteen Golf Hotel contributing a variety of raffle prizes that helped in raising substantial funds.

 

Michelle Aylward, CEO of the County Tipperary Chamber, expressed her heartfelt thanks: “We are immensely grateful to everyone who participated and contributed to making this event a success. The generosity of our community not only highlights the spirit of giving but also strengthens our resolve to support those facing the challenges of cancer.”

Michael O'Brien, Centre Manager, C.A.R.E. Cancer Support Centre, expressed a huge debt of gratitude to the County Tipperary Chamber for organising the event and for nominating our Centre as beneficiaries. We have an affiliation with the Irish Cancer Society and an independent Cancer Support Centre we provide non-judgemental support to people who have been diagnosed with cancer. The support extends to the families of those affected also. All our services are provided free of charge. We are totally dependent on voluntary donations and fundraising to maintain this vital service to the people of Clonmel and South Tipperary. We are very grateful to everyone who attended the event and for being so generous towards our charity. Thank you to all involved.
