Easter Egg Appeal
One of our young athletes, Ciara, spent some time in hospital in London recently. While there, she and another patient Liam, decided to organise an Easter Egg Appeal for patients in hospital at this time. She asked Bandon Athletic Club and other clubs and organisations to help her with this appeal. In total, Ciara and Liam collected 2,300 Easter Eggs for patients in Temple Street Hospital, Crumlin Hospital, St. Patrick’s Upton, St. Vincent de Paul Bandon, The Cope Foundation, and The Shine Centre in Carrigaline.
Bandon AC would like to thank everyone who donated Easter eggs to this deserving cause.
