Mayo Lions club hosting 'The Cube' community fundraising event

CASTLEBAR Lions Club has announced that it will host a major community fundraising event in Castlebar on the evening of June 6 to raise funds for several community-based organisations selected by the Lions Club, including Mayo Mental Health.

Castlebar Lions Club is finalising arrangements with eight local sports clubs to participate in the event, which will be structured around the immensely popular The Cube concept seen on television.

Each club will enter a team of four to compete in the Cube and complete several challenges.

The show will take place in the TF Royal Theatre in front of a live audience of 1,500 people.

Castlebar Lions Club is a registered charity and not-for-profit organisation. The funds raised will be distributed between the selected charities and clubs participating in the event.

The fundraising event will be formally launched in TF Royal Theatre on March 27, when the names of the participating clubs will be revealed. Castlebar Lions Club will also announce opportunities for commercial sponsorship of the event to maximise the funds raised for the community.
