💗 What a lovely morning we had at our Pink Bingo! 💗

We had a brilliant morning bringing everyone together for a great cause. We started off with a lovely information session to raise awareness, followed by some Zumba with Sheree and then finished off with a great game of Bingo and some fantastic spot prizes!

We are absolutely delighted to say that we raised €380 for Tuam Cancer Care! 🩷

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, supported us, donated prizes and helped make the morning such a success. We really appreciate everyone's support.

Education is power. Behind every diagnosis is a mother, sister, cousin or friend. Together, we can raise awareness, support one another and make a difference. 💗
