SAVING LIVES: COMMUNITY HEROES AT O’CONNELLS GFC AND TALLANSTOWN DARTS TEAM COLLECT THOUSANDS TO BACK SAFE CASTLEBELLINGHAM’S VITAL MISSION!
An absolutely extraordinary wave of community generosity has swept through our local parishes, delivering a monumental financial boost to lock in permanent, confidential support networks for vulnerable people.
A roaring exhibition of true neighborhood solidarity has unfolded across Mid-Louth over recent weeks. Two highly prominent local fundraising drives have successfully channeled thousands of euros straight into **Suicide Awareness For Everyone (SAFE) Castlebellingham CLG**, a vital voluntary organization engineered to provide an essential safety net for individuals facing suicidal thoughts and their families. Through these incredible local endeavors, the charity has not only secured immediate lifelines but has locked in a series of long-term annual partnerships.
O’Connells GFC Steps Up With Sunrise Walk Success
A spectacular tracking event creates a permanent charity partnership with the local GAA club.
A massive, heartfelt thank you has been issued by the SAFE executive panel to Chairperson Malcolm McDonnell, Vice Chairperson Conor Byrne, and the entire club panel at O’Connells GFC. The club successfully organized a highly moving Sunrise Walk in direct support of the suicide prevention framework. The early morning trek turned into an absolute festival of neighborhood solidarity, tracking deep community engagement across the board.
The financial tracking figures logged from the footpaths were highly impressive. The Sunrise Walk successfully accumulated a fantastic baseline of **€1,500** from local walkers. To compound this magnificent milestone, a secondary checking donation of **€200** was supplied by the local team at Connect Credit Union, bringing the grand presentation total to **€1,700**. In recognition of this standard-setting backing, SAFE representatives were delighted to present an official Certificate of Appreciation to the club. Even more significantly, the club has formally chosen SAFE as its official, long-term annual charity partner going forward, ensuring this tracking fundraiser remains a permanent cornerstone on the local sports calendar.
Tallanstown Hits the Bullseye for Mental Health Awareness
The O’Brien Family and local darts players channel an incredible €1,000 to advance local care services.
Simultaneously, secondary charity grids were flashing bright green over in **Tallanstown**. The hard-working SAFE Castlebellingham team sent out another massive public message of gratitude, this time targeting the wonderful O’Brien Family and the entire John O’Brien Memorial Cup Darts Team based in the locality. The highly competitive darts gathering hit absolute peak form, generating immense neighborhood backing to raise an incredible **€1,000** in cash assets to help preserve local outreach programs.
The charity presented another formal Certificate of Appreciation to the Tallanstown crew, beautifully acknowledging their deep personal commitment to expanding mental health awareness down our link roads. In another major operational triumph, it has been verified that the John O’Brien Memorial Cup event will now officially function as an annual fundraiser, establishing a permanent stream of financial resources to help SAFE continue its life-saving daily operations right on our doorsteps. Cheques for the event were securely processed through the local hub at Ardee Credit Union Ltd on Market Street.
