Bantry Bay Lions and Lions Clubs throughout Ireland have responded to the crisis facing the Indian healthcare system by raising $66,100 as part of a major campaign organized by the Lions Clubs International Foundation.
Bantry Bay Lions donated €500 to this fund.
The Bantry Bay Lions club held a cake sale in Wolfe Tone Square on May 14 from 10am to 2pm. We raised a very useful €514.00 thanks to the generosity of those visiting the Friday Market. All proceeds from sales will be donated to the Alzeimer and Dementia Society of Ireland. This event is sponsored by SuperValu, Lidl, Centra and Mace stores who contributed assorted cakes. Members of the Lions Club and friends also be baked various goodies to add to the sponsored donations.
