IT’S set to be a swish affair this autumn when a black tie Masquerade Ball takes place in Tralee in aid of Pieta House.
A committee headed by Tralee woman Mary Stapleton-Foley and her colleagues from The HR Suite are organising the event at The Rose Hotel on Friday, October 21, to help fund the trojan work that Pieta House undertakes.
“We are hoping to raise a substantial amount of money and this will only be feasible if we gain support from the goodwill of local businesses and people,” said Mary Stapleton-Foley.
“We are hoping to hold an auction on the night and welcome any donations of items to be part of the auction. All proceeds will go directly to Pieta House and go towards the maintenance of the invaluable services they supply currently,” said Mary.
