Twelve thousand multi-coloured balls will race down Patrick’s Hill on Monday March 18th at 2.00 pm to raise funds for the People of Gaza and Local Charities.

Cork Lions President John Walsh said:

“Cork Lions Club are delighted to use the years Patricks hill Ball Run to support the People of Gaza and Local Cork Charities.

This is a great family friendly event and is one of our main fundraisers – we greatly appreciate the support of the people of Cork!”

Each ball in the Ball Run is individually numbered and released from a cage at the top of Patricks Hill in a colourful cascade. They are then guided down the hill and gathered in a trap at the bottom where the first 6 balls win a prize. Balls will be sold on the hill or can be purchased online at €2 each on our website www.corklionsclub.ie . It is a great fun family event. All proceeds from the event will go to the People of Gaza and Local Cork Charities.

Cork Lions Club will also be taking the opportunity to collect old glasses as part of their Recycle for Sight Campaign. This project recycles old spectacles which are cleaned, graded and distributed at eye clinics in the third world. We are appealing to the public to clean out their old glasses from drawers and bring them along to the hill on Monday March 18th.
