Nenagh pub raises the bar for cystic fibrosis

Rocky O'Sullivan's pub in Nenagh is hosting an event this Friday night, July 24th, called 'Raise the Bar for Cystic Fibrosis'.
Noreen O'Sullivan has been nominated to sing a song as part of the event, which is a national fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis Ireland (CFI).
The campaign sees bar owners or bartenders around the country nominated for the 'Raise the Bar for CF' challenge. The nominated person becomes a star for the night and must sing a song (of their own choosing) for their customers. The performance must be recorded.
A collection will take place in the pub with all proceeds going towards helping people with CF in Ireland. The recording is then posted to the ‘Raise the Bar for CF’ Facebook page, naming the bar, the singer and the amount collected.
Then it's nomination time! Your bar nominates the next bar to participate and the owner/bartender they want to take on the challenge.
If you cannot make it to your local to support their ‘Raise the Bar for CF’ challenge, you can still support the event by donating to the ‘Raise the Bar for CF’ My Charity page and naming the bar you wish to support in their fundraising efforts.
The organisers are looking for 65 bars to participate in this '65 Roses' challenge and to raise €65,000 to help people with CF in Ireland. All monies raised will go towards the provision of services and supports, improving the standard of care for people with cystic fibrosis in Ireland.
Noreen O'Sullivan was nominated by Elaine Carew Kirwan of Barne Lodge in Clonmel. To find out more information on the appeal visit www.cfireland.ie or LoCall 1890 311 211.
