ACTION CANCER, SAVING LIVES, SUPPORTING PEOPLE
Action Cancer is delighted to have been nominated as the
benefiting charity of the Hillsborough Oyster Festival 2008
As Ciaran O’Neill Chairperson of Action Cancer explains :“This is a very special year for Action Cancer as we celebrate our 35th
Anniversary in partnership with the Hillsborough Oyster Festival and as its
designated charity for the second year running. The Festival provides us
with a unique opportunity to raise awareness of our work, and vital funds
to help even more people. Last year was a record fundraising success and
the Festival Committee staged a remarkable variety of entertainment that
was enthusiastically received by the thousands of visitors.
On average every hour of every day, someone in Northern Ireland receives
a cancer diagnosis, resulting in 9,000 new cases annually. There are
40,000 people living with cancer at any one time here. As Northern
Ireland’s leading local cancer charity, Action Cancer is committed to saving
lives and supporting people. We are extremely grateful to the
Hillsborough Oyster Festival committee for this important opportunity to
extend our services and help more local people in the future.
Action Cancer needs to raise over £3.8 million each year to support its
services. All money is spent in Northern Ireland supporting the community,
cancer patients and their families. If you would like more information on
our services or how you can help us fundraise or as a volunteer, please call
us on 028 9080 3344 or go on-line to www.actioncancer.org
A huge thank you to all supporters at the Hillsborough Oyster Festival and
we look forward to seeing you there at some of the events”.
