Irish Cancer
Society appeals for online donations
13.10.20
THE Irish Cancer Society
are appealing for online donations after their Pink
Ribbon sales in Inishowen, which raise funds for
services for people affected by breast cancer, have been
cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Each year, dedicated fundraisers look forward to doing
their bit in the local community, bringing some colour
to the streets in support of services and research for
breast cancer services and it’s disappointing for
everyone that this won’t be happening this year, but you
can still help. |
Brendan Duffy from Buncrana,
a Pink Ribbon volunteer for the Irish Cancer Society,
said: “Every year, we come together to sell Pink Ribbons
to support breast cancer patients. The support in is
always amazing, everyone is so generous. We are so
disappointed to not be out on the streets this year, but
we want to encourage everyone to please show their
support breast cancer patients by donating online at
www.cancer.ie to get their digital Pink Ribbon
this year."
Rosemary Simmons, National Fundraising Lead at the Irish
Cancer Society, added: "Unfortunately due to Covid-19
restrictions, we have had to cancel our street sales
across Donegal this year. We are asking members of the
public to show their support by donating to the Irish
Cancer Society online at
www.cancer.ie/donate or call 1850 60 60 60." |
