€275,000. Our biggest night in 24 years. Last Friday, at our 24th Annual Fundraising Ball, Cork did something extraordinary. And we are, quite simply, blown away. To every person who showed up, bid, donated, organised and believed - thank you. On behalf of every man and woman who turns to Cork Simon for help, thank you. Your generosity reaches further than you may ever see or know. Cork has shown up. And once again, it's proven that it cares. None of this happens without people. So we want to name them. Our sponsors, whose commitment made the night possible: EZ Living Interiors The HEINEKEN Company Keanes Jewellers Crane Worldwide Logistics Musgrave and Johnson & Perrott Ltd and all our partners across the Cork business community. Our voluntary organising committee, who gave their time, expertise and energy so freely: Ray Egan, Louise Smith, Alan Bruce, John Fuller, Sandy Boundy, Eimear O'Brien, Julianne Sullivan, Johnny O'Connor, Leo Whelan, Hilary O'Shea. Our guests and supporters, whose generosity made the record possible. A special thank you to Jonathan Healy for hosting such a spectacular evening, to Cork Red FM's KC for bringing energy and flair to the auction, and to all the speakers who took to the stage at Fota Island Resort. 275,000 thank yous. One for every euro raised. Cork at its very best. And we can't wait to celebrate a special milestone with you all next year - the 25th Cork Simon Annual Fundraising Ball in 2027. #CorkSimonBall2026 #CorkSimon #BelievelnPeople #Cork #Fundraising #Community
