Thank you to everyone who attended, donated or purchased raffle tickets for the EIIC’s mental health fundraiser at The Dead Rabbit. It was a night of friendship and solidarity, dedicated to raising awareness for our counselling services which have helped and supported so many young Irish people living in NYC.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Shane Boyle and Hugh Byrne for sharing their powerful and inspiring stories. A special thank you to Hugh and Jenny O’Leary in their work in planning the event, and to Sophie Colgan for emceeing and running the raffle, during which many fantastic prizes were won! Some of the prize winners included Lorcan Shannon, who walked away with one of two limited printed by Gerard Deasy at GDC art, and Claire McGovern who will hopefully soon be using her voucher to dine at Sweetwater Restaurant in Brooklyn! Congratulations also to Dan Delaney of Beyond the Pale Bar who won the two return JetBlue flights to anywhere in the world!
Your support not only makes these wonderful events possible but also helps us continue providing essential services to those in need. We would like to thank our sponsors and everyone who came out to this sold-out event in solidarity to support us and each other. Together, we’re making a real difference in the lives of our community. We are looking forward to seeing you all again next year!
