There was a great buzz in Spa last Saturday morning as the club hosted a bake sale in the main sports hall and held a Clothes Drive fundraiser earlier that morning, both events to raise vital funds for our Coiste na nÓg juvenile teams. Many thanks to all who organised, volunteered, donated and supported both events.

Bake Sale

Our hugely successful Cake Sale and Raffle fundraiser was organised and coordinated by Helena Sheahan, who got great help from her hardworking committee. Spa Coiste na nOg were blown away by the support and generosity of the whole Spa community. A staggering €3900 was raised on the morning which will be used for resources to help our future stars.

The committee involved in organising the bake sale included Lynn Swinburne, Deirdre Hannon, Elaine Moynihan, Ciara Casey, Helena Sheahan, Katie O'Brien, Caitriona Shanahan , Denise Claffey, Karen McAuliffe Hurley, Ann Marie O'Sullivan, Orla Meenan, Liadh Tobin, Samira Hayes Ryan, Sharon O'Connor, Lisa Daly, Dani Bun Kissane, Rebecca O'Connell, Sheila Lydon, Marie O’Keeffe and Tina Griffin.
