Rosabel’s Ball in aid of Rosabel’s Room in collaboration with Irish Hospice Foundation is back on Saturday April 22 in the Hardiman Hotel, Eyre Square, Galway.
MC for the night is broadcaster Síle Seoige. A huge supporter of the charity, Sile said she is delighted to be part of such a wonderful evening.
“The charity does amazing work for so many families at the worst time in their lives. I am looking forward to seeing lots raised on the night,” she said.
Guests will enjoy a drinks reception like no other with Silkie Whiskey from the coast of Donegal tantalising our taste buds along with Dingle Gin and Poachers tonic from the south of the country.
Patrons are in for a treat with a delicious signature cocktail from Coole Swan that will certainly have guests in the mood for a fabulous night ahead. Once your palettes have been awoken there will be a scrumptious four course meal prepared by award-winning chef at the Hardiman Hotel; with the music from the recently reunited The Wilful will have guests on their feet all night.
There will be many surprises throughout the evening as well as opportunities to bag yourself a gift from so many businesses throughout the country supporting this amazing cause. Rosabel’s Rooms was set up in 2018 by Gary Monroe and Suzanne McClean after the sudden death of their beautiful daughter Rosabel not long after her first birthday.
The Galway-born child loss project, now a national initiative, in partnership with the Irish Hospice Foundation reaches out to bereaved parents and families all over Ireland supporting them financially and therapeutically. Rosabel’s Mum and Director of the charity Suzanne McClean said Rosabel died at home but was raced to University Hospital Galway.
“The staff were incredible that night, but unfortunately there wasn’t any appropriate space available to us while we tried to navigate our way through those crucial first post-trauma hours with our deceased child.
“The essence of this project is to convey a sense of reverence and respect for life, death and bereavement. We are delighted to celebrate Rosabel’s life through events like the ball while raising funds to help so many families. We are overwhelmed with those looking for support. Rosabel’s legacy will certainly live on,” she said.
