The Western Care Valentine Candlelight Ball was recently launched in Breaffy House Hotel by Noreen Heston, Mayor of Castlebar. In attendance were Caroline Gordon Chairperson, committee members of the 2014 Valentine Candlelight Ball and supporters of this very significant annual fundraising event.

Noreen Heston, Mayor of Castlebar, said she was delighted to be asked to formally launch the Valentine Candlelight Ball and she spoke of the long established support Western Care has in Castlebar and throughout Mayo. She emphasised the need, where possible, for everyone to lend support to this significant fundraising event and to the Western Care organisation, who support over 1,000 people in Mayo with learning and associated disabilities.

Caroline Gordon Chairperson, thanked everyone for attending the official launch. She also thanked everyone involved in organising the Valentine Candlelight Ball and in particular the sponsors who year after year continue to support by way of donation, gifts and with their attendance on the night of the Valentine Candlelight Ball. Without such support, such a significant event would not happen.

Caroline was delighted to announce the guest speaker....GAA legend, Pat Spillane and that also in attendance on the night will be Enda Gilvarry, Mayo Minors Team Manager, some of the All-Ireland winning minor players and the Markham Cup.
