Fundraising Events 
2007-2009

No event is too big or too small.  Many friends and family have raised funds for the building of LauraLynn House as well as help get out the message that children's pallative care in Ireland needs improvement.
 
Events:

Nov 2007 - Beth's Ball was held in November 2007.  The Laurel Lodge Toddler's Playgroup put on a fantastic event to raise funds for Beth - over 2500 euros!

Nov 2008 - Book Sale at Laurel Lodge Christmas Craft Fair - A huge thanks to Marie King for all her hard work.

Dec 2008 - Christmas Party with a Difference - Mel and Rob Moore of Sheffield, UK asked their friends and family to bring a donation to Beth's Fund to their annual Christmas party rather than a bottle of wine.  It was a great success with over £250 brought in!

Jan 2009 - Every Penny Counts - Every Child Counts - Every Day Counts - Over the months of January and February, the children of Dangan National School in Summerhill, Meath, Ireland raided their piggy banks and hunted under sofa cushions to bring in any spare change they could find. And find it they did!  Within the first week the collection tub burst and in total over 845 euros were raised!  Thank you so much to the children and staff.  We hope to have other primary schools join in the campaign and raise the profile of LauraLynn House as well as well needed funds.
