Beaufort teen power generates cash for a good cause

B
BEAUFORT'S younger citizens can take a well-deserved bow after raising an impressive €2130 for the Donal Walsh LiveLife Foundation.
Beaufort Youth Club organised a glamorous charity ball in the five-star Dunloe Hotel at the end of April. The event proved a huge success and was a credit to the organisers and their youth leaders and mentors.
The hosting of a formal ball for the Donal Walsh LiveLife Foundation was the brainchild of Beaufort Youth Club junior leaders Aoife O’Brien, Jack Sweeney, Saoirse Clifford and William Joy.
Members of the Kerry Diocesan Youth Service were invited to dance the night away at the glittering, fun event. “The ball was for first, second and third years and all proceeds went directly to the charity,” said Marie Kehoe, youth leader at the club.
Tralee teenager Donal Walsh fundraised tirelessly while battling cancer the Donal Walsh Livelife Foundation was set up by his family in his memory primarily in order to promote his anti-suicide Livelife message.
