The Latin Quarter Bar 1520 held a very successful table quiz in aid of the Australian Fire Fighters this week. The quiz and raffle raised on €2385 which has been directly donated to the cause. Thirty-seven teams took part in the general knowledge quiz which had a number of rounds featuring Australian inspired questions.
The very successful raffle included a signed Connacht Rugby jersey signed by captain Jarad Butler, and prizes from companies such as Medasthetics, Active Fitness, Hyde Bar, The Clayton Hotel, Hendricks, Richmond Marketing and lots more.
General Manger James O Neill was blown away by the response to the event, he believes it shows how much the tragedy has touched people on this side of the world. We were hoping for 20-25 tables but the teams just kept coming, people were so accommodating as every available space was taken up with teams. It was a truly special night and we were delighted to be able to play our part in raising funds for this heart-breaking situation.
A number of other fundraisers are due to take place in the city including a barbeque in The Universal, a Table Quiz in Darcy’s Bar with the Skeff Bar and Kinlay Hostel also raising much-needed funds to support the cause.
