Naas Lions Club has announced an upcoming Gala Ball to raise funds and awareness for The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation based in Kildare.

Following the phenomenal success of the last years ball, the Gala Ball 2025 will take place on Saturday September 27, at Lawlor’s Hotel in Naas in Kildare.

The ball will include an evening of fine dining, entertainment, and fundraising to raise funds for Kildare based charity that funds and provides up to 100 hours per month of in-home nursing care and respite support to families caring for children, with severe learning disability.

The Foundation currently supports 427 children across Ireland, including 33 in Kildare.

Munster captain and Irish rugby star Tadhg Beirne, took time out from his preparations for the Six Nations clash against France to show his support for this important cause.

He was joined by Naas Lions Club President Luke Sparrow, Deirdre Walsh CEO Jack and Jill, Sinead Ronan CEO Kildare Chamber Commerce as well as other representatives from The Naas Lions Club.

The foundation provides end-of-life-care for all children up to the age six, irrespective of diagnosis, empowering parents to take their child home to die at this most difficult time.

Tickets for the ball go on sale on Friday March 7 and are priced at €150 per person or €1,500 for a
table of 10.

Tickets can be purchased via https://www.tickettailor.com/events/naaslionsclub/1543862

Every euro raised from the Gala Ball will go directly towards funding these life-changing services.
