Ireland’s Biggest Coffee Morning in aid of Marymount Hospice will take place on September 17 this year.
Celebrity cook Rachel Allen was at today’s launch to encourage people to “brew up for Marymount”.
The public are being asked to gather friends at home or colleagues at the workplace, flick on the kettle and accept €2 donations in exchange for a steaming cup of freshly-brewed Bewley’s coffee.
“Marymount is synonymous with the provision of care for people with life-limiting conditions,” said The Friends of Marymount chairman Daniel Cowman.
“Fundraising at Marymount is required to raise €2m annually just to maintain current services.
“A dedicated team of 34 volunteers (The Friends of Marymount) must be credited with the fantastic work they do to achieve this fundraising target each year. They are a real credit to the Hospice.”
Registration advice and details on how to get your special complimentary Bewley’s fresh ground coffee pack along with Rachel Allen sweet treats recipe card can be obtained by contacting Daniel Cowman of The Friends of Marymount on 021 4501201.
