Breast Cancer Ireland is delighted to offer two nationwide raffles annually in Spring and Autumn and we would like to thank all who have bought/sold tickets for us. The funds raised from these raffles go directly to support the ongoing efforts of our BCI funded specialist breast research nurses within the designated cancer centres throughout Ireland.

Through collaboration, they collect and collate patient data and samples into one central resource. This can then be accessed by clinicians and scientists nationally providing a much larger sample volume. That in turn, helps to speed up discovery and will ultimately result in better treatment outcomes for patients.

Closing date for this year’s raffle is Monday May 4th, with the draw taking place on Thursday May 7th. 

Save the date!!  The 3^rd Annual Emma Hannigan Golf Classic will take place on Friday 8^th May 2020 in Luttrellstown Castle. 

There is a shot gun start at 2pm with a light lunch before with dinner and prize giving afterwards. For more details please email areilly@bciresearch.ie

Save the date for this year’s event – Friday May 15th in Leopardstown.

Ticket details will be posted here once they’re available.
