Ashford Estate’s five-star online draw for Mayo-based charity
A fantastic prize draw has just been launched by the Ashford Estate in Co. Mayo in aid of local charity, Mayo Cancer Support.
The draw offers entrants the chance to win a stay in one of three dream locations – Ashford Castle, Dublin’s Merrion Hotel and The Lodge at Ashford Castle.
It was unveiled at the recent high profile Nurture fundraising event – a celebration of self-care – that took place in The Lodge at Ashford Castle on May 14 last.
Nurture came about as a result of the vision of local woman, Zoe Rochford, who recently lost her mother to pancreatic cancer.
When Zoe and her father, Niall Rochford, met with representatives of Mayo Cancer Support earlier this year, the charity’s remit to provide emotional support to people affected by a cancer diagnosis or bereavement resonated deeply with them and they resolved to try to help in a fundraising capacity.
Zoe took the lead and worked in conjunction with Mayo Cancer Support and Anna Hughes Keane from The Lodge at Ashford Castle (lead event sponsor) to devise, plan and launch the Nurture event.
The result was a fantastic day that saw some of Ireland’s best-known self-care aficionados sharing their knowledge to a capacity attendance.
The day also marked the surprise launch of the online Nurture draw, devised by the Ashford Estate to facilitate those who may not have been able to attend the event but would like to support the cause.
The Nurture Goes Online draw is now live on the online iDonate platform (www.idonate.ie). It is limited to 200 entries at €50 per entry but general donations of any amount are also welcome.
Prizes include: 1st – one night B&B for two in the five-star Ashford Castle Hotel, Cong; 2nd – one night B&B and in the five-star Merrion Hotel, Dublin, plus dinner in the Garden Room Restaurant; 3rd – one night B&B in The Lodge at Ashford Castle and lunch for two people in the Quay Bar. To enter or for further details, see https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/Nurturegoesonline or call Mayo Cancer Support on (094) 9038407.
Mayo Cancer Support extends sincere thanks to the Rochford Family, The Lodge at Ashford Castle, the Ashford Estate and the many other local and national sponsors, together with the special guests, that made Nurture such a successful event.
