Hugely Successful Carnival in aid of Aoibheann's Pink Tie
 
 
The Summer Sunset Carnival Banquet, hosted by the HYC Social Committee, took place on September 26th, and proved to be one of the most colourful events of the year in HYC. Guests described the incredible atmosphere, vibrant décor, and the lively Cuban rhythms of The Cuban All Stars Band - the only 100% live Cuban band in Ireland!
 
The dining room was full of guests who dressed to impress, embracing the carnival theme in dazzling colours, styles and even some questionable accessories inspired by Latin America.
 
 
Jimmy Norman, founder of Aoibheann’s Pink Tie, gave a heartfelt speech and €2,630.80 was raised on the night through raffle ticket sales and an additional €292 via donations.
 
A huge thank you to amazing raffle sponsors: Ennis Safety Wear (esw.ie) who sponsored a lovely Musto jacket, the Wright Group, artist's Jacinta Monks & Rima Macken, and several other kind supporters.
 
 
A special thanks also to everyone behind the scenes and the HYC staff who made the night flow so smoothly. A truly unforgettable night of colour, music, and community spirit - all in support of a great cause. Jimmy and Conor from Aoibheann's Pink tie visited HYC last Wednesday for the official cheque presentation at the clubhouse. 
 
Thanks again to everyone for their support.
