Last November Gary Flannery participated in the worldwide organisation that is 'Movember'; this encourages Men to grow their moustache for the month of November to change the face of Men's health. This organisation raises much needed funds for research and awareness into 'Prostate Cancer'.When over 500 staff and students signed a petition for Gary to keep his 'Tache' late last November he saw an opening to raise a considerable amount of money for 'Action Prostate Cancer' deciding a 'Sports Memorabilia Auction' would be the best option'.
Gary Flannery said: "I saw it as a huge opportunity to raise much needed funds for a very worthy cause. The more I got involved the more people I met who had been affected by the illness".
All proceeds will be given directly to 'Irish Cancer Society' for Action Prostate Cancer Research and Awareness."I hope the night will be a success whatever the outcome I just want to see a substantial amount raised for Action Prostate Cancer. It was a credit to see so many sport stars willing to help and meeting them was an incredible experience," said Gary.
Donations can be made by writing a cheque made payable to 'Irish Cancer Society' referencing his Registration Number 421090 and mailing it to: Movember - Irish Cancer Society, 43/45 Northumberland Road, Dublin 4.
Tickets can purchased from Gary on 087 7697080 and cost €20. Price includes: Entry to into the venue for the auction, entertainment provided by Bluemoose after the auction and some light refreshments.
