This red-carpet affair isn’t just for the close-ups and the Tinseltown star quality (although it will be full of both!), it’s to make a real difference for all the women who come to the Mater Hospital in need of cancer care.
Our goal this year is to provide urgent funding where it’s needed most in our hospital so we can speed up cancer diagnosis, enhance treatments and provide world-class care to the women from all over Ireland who come through our doors.
It’s vital the Mater has the equipment, supports, facilities, and the research capabilities to save lives – that’s where the funds you raise make such a difference for patients.
