Limerick founded charity Cliona’s Foundation provides financial assistance for critically ill children all over Ireland for non-medical expenses. Keith said, “the work that Cliona’s Foundation do is very close to my heart as I have seen the financial burden on families caring for a critically ill child and as part of my work with the Keith Duffy Foundation which aims to provide support and financial assistance to a number of chosen children’s charities throughout the country. I have been working very closely with the charity for over a year now and I am in awe of the work that they do. I was thrilled to be able to be present this past January when they reached their €1,000,000 milestone. I held a fundraising ball in their honour this past April in Limerick and most I recently cycled from Nantes to Lourdes in their honour during the Summer with founder Brendan Ring.”

“All three of these charities do invaluable work and offer much need services to the community and this event is a fantastic day out in their honour,” added Keith. 

On the day, tee times are available from 2pm and the 4-ball event includes one celebrity per team. The cost of a team is €1,500 and this includes an evening of food and drinks for all players and their partners, a 4-course meal, entertainment on the night by Cole Page and some incredible surprise special guests and a raffle and auction with exclusive prizes to be won.
