A pre St Valentine’s Day benefit night being held in Gort will feature a disco and light refreshments.
The event which is being held at O’Grady’s Bar on Saturday February 13 at 9.30pm will raise money for the family of the late Maria Helena Vierira, better know as Mary
A much loved member of Gort’s Brazilian community she died on January 4.
The organisers of the fundraiser say it cost her family a “huge amount” of money to bring her body back to Brazil.
“Therefore we are having a fundraiser night out which is also coinciding with Valentine’s weekend to ensure there is a crowd around.”
Tickets are €10 each or €15 for a couple and are available from O’Grady’s Bar or on the door on the night. All proceeds are going to the late Ms Vierira’s family.
