An incredible €10,000 has been raised for Breast Cancer Ireland, despite the Battle of the Stars event being postponed until later this year.
A whole host of Irish stars were set to take to the dancefloor this month, however due to the on-going Coronavirus pandemic, the night of fun and frolics has been pushed back to September.
While the main gala itself couldn’t go ahead, those involved in the charity event championed an online campaign, which helped raise a significant amount of money.
Aisling Hurley, CEO of Breast Cancer Ireland said, “We were obviously disappointed that our annual gala, Battle of the Stars was postponed, but this initiative championed by our amazing community of supporters and survivors, was so heartening.
“It energises us all, even in these challenging days, so that once this crisis passes, our research teams in the labs will be ready to continue their work in transforming the landscape of breast cancer in Ireland”
