Parents organise ball to ease autism funding shortfall

Parents of children with autism plan to organise a series of fundraising events to help offset a 10% budget deficit imposed on the Brothers of Charity group in Cork.

Around 120 parents will gather in the Carrigaline Court Hotel next Saturday for a gala ball in aid of South Lee Autism Support Services, Marian House. The target was to sell 300 tickets.

“I would like to see more support,” said Mary Daly, main organiser of the event.
