Put your knowledge to the test for charity
Two well-known charities are teaming up this Wednesday to host a live online fundraising quiz.
The Simply the Best Midlands Quiz will be broadcast live on Self Help Africa’s Facebook page from 8pm this Wednesday, April 29, and will support the overseas aid organisation, as well as Dóchas Offaly Cancer Support.
Tickets are just €5 and proceeds will be split equally between the two charities.
Self Help Africa’s Ronan Scully, a native of Clara said: “During this time of lockdown, Self Help Africa wanted to find a way to support both our work internationally, and also give back to the local
community here in the Midlands by teaming up with Dóchas Offaly Cancer Support.
Together, we hope to make a difference for good in the lives of people most in need in our communities. By taking part in the Midlands Quiz, you will be making a positive impact both here at home in Ireland, and further afield in Africa – supporting Self Help Africa to assist some of the world’s poorest communities through the devastating coronavirus, and beyond.”
Dermot Murphy, of Dóchas Offaly Cancer Support commented: “While our drop-in centre is currently closed to keep everyone safe, we continue to offer phone support and virtual counselling to all those who need it, especially during these difficult times. We rely on public donations and fundraising events such as the Midlands Quiz, to allow us to provide our services. Now, more than ever, the public’s support is needed.”
