£15,700.00  raised for local cancer charities

At Páirc Úi Cheallaigh, Portglenone, on Saturday afternoon, two local Cancer Charities benefited from the recent fundraising efforts of Roger Casements GAC and the McKeever Family in memory of former Gael Paul McKeever who tragically lost his life to this terrible disease in 2019. The fundraising comprised of a few elements in response to the ‘Light up for Paul’ campaign held recently which saw a huge response from clubs all over Antrim, Ulster and far off fields; the gate to the Casements GAC v Lamh Dhearg Senior Championship 2nd replay at All Saints, Ballymena and the gate at the replayed O’Cahan Cup Final. As a result, a massive total of £15,700.00 was raised for the two local cancer charities selected by the McKeever Family.

A cheque for £7850.00 was presented by Nicola McKeever and the Casements U10/12s to Claire Hogarth on behalf of the Friends of the Cancer Centre, while Sarah-Jane Holden of Cancer Focus N.I. received a cheque for £7850.00

The Casements club and the McKeever family would like to thank everyone who donated so generously in memory of Paul and also we would like to thank everyone who gave up their time to help with this massive fundraising effort.
