Speaking in advance of the event Fiona said ‘My time with Hope in Kolkata changed my life. The work is amazing. I am delighted to continue to lend my support after my recent journey of HOPE. I look forward to meeting you all in beautiful Adare as we celebrate the women of the world who truly make a difference’

The Hope Foundation, celebrated 15 years of Hope last year and have partnered with Limerick packaging and design stalwarts JJ O’Toole Ltd who are now in their 100 year of business and are the main sponsors of the event. Hope now fund more than 60 projects touching the lives of 25,000 children who were born with few choices and very little hope. 

Sponsor and managing director of JJ O’ Toole, Vicki O’ Toole spoke of the inspiration behind the lunchen: ‘I first met Maureen Forrest, founder of the Hope Foundation, at an event in Limerick last year. She and her charity completely overwhelmed me and literally ‘had me at hello’!  As a result of this meeting, JJ O’ Toole Ltd decided to sponsor the first Hope Foundation Charity luncheon to be held in Limerick.’

Maureen Forrest declared her gratitude at the overwhelming generosity shown by Limerick people over the years:

”We are so grateful to Vicki and JJ O’ Toole Ltd as sponsors of what promises to be a wonderful day out. As women in 21 century Ireland, as we continue to move forward and rise through glass ceilings, continue as business leaders and drive global and local investments, we must keep in mind the girls and women around the world who are not as fortunate as us.“

The event will begin with a Prosecco reception at 12pm, followed by an elegant three course lunch with wine, music and a luxury gift bag for all guests including superb table prizes.
