La Rosa Bar in San Cayetano was throbbing last Monday evening for their weekly Quiz Night. Julie Mark McCluskey who have run the bar for a number of years decided in early summer they wanted to start the Quiz and give the proceeds to Charity.
Over the years several of their customers and friends have had Cancer and so the natural choice of charity was MABS Cancer Support Group.
At the end of the evening Julie and her son Dean presented Janet Bell, Area Co-Ordinator, for MABS with a cheque for 905 Euros, so for a small bar and in such a short time this was a fantastic amount.
Generosity didn’t stop there!! One of the regular customers of La Rosa donated another 95 Euros to make it up to 1,000 Euros.
By coincidence the gentleman’s wife won ‘Open the Box’ and donated another 95 Euros!! The final amount being 1,115 Euros after another customer donated 20 Euros.
Janet thanked everyone who had taken part in the Quiz Nights over the summer especially Julie, and Mark and said “It is only because of people like all of you here tonight that MABS is able to continue helping all Cancer patients and their families”.
A vote of thanks to MABS was given by a Customer whose wife is currently being helped by MABS with a Translator, Driver, and Carer.
Mark Julie’s next Fundraising Event is a 24 hour Pool Championship, so if you would like to take part contact Mark on 636 619 481.
