Laois community to build donation wall to pay for playground

The inventive Ballyroan have found a new way to help raise funds to support the building of a new playground and games area.

As part of the new Ballyroan playground development on the site of the vacant former school, there will be a new Donor Wall installed on the site to acknowledge supporters of the Ballyroan Goes To Hollywood fundraiser.

The fundraiser involves a Gala Night in November and different individual fundraising events leading up to the night this year.

Ballyroan Community Development say families / households which make donations from €100 can have their names included on the donor wall if they so wish.

Donations of €100 can be made to one movie / event or the donation of €100 can be split across up to four movies / events in the Ballyroan Goes to Hollywod fundraiser. This offer does not apply ticket sales for the Gala Night, or donations under €25.

If you are interested in being included on the Donor Wall go to  https://forms.gle/UX1cEBw1drgKVmVm8

The Ballyroan Community Development CLG will get in touch before the donor wall is signed off for construction, to confirm your details. Any queries about the donor wall contact 086-8381992 or ballyroan.community@gmail.com
