The annual Mayor’s Ball took place in the Tower Hotel, Waterford on Saturday, April 27th.

The beneficiaries of this year’s event were The Arch Club Tramore/Waterford, Aiséirí Waterford, Cystic Fibrosis Waterford, and the Waterford-Tramore unit of the Order of Malta.

The auction on the night, which saw the sale of beautiful artwork, a signed Irish rugby jersey and tickets to a show of Waterford’s homegrown talent Moncrieff, to name a few, raised €22,500.  With further contributions to the beneficiaries made through donations, sponsorships and the sale of tickets the overall monies raised was €43,500.  With over 250 people in attendance, it proved to be a great night.

Mayor of Waterford City and County Cllr Joe Conway was delighted with the success of the event, saying “This was a particular highlight of my mayoralty, as so many worthy charities benefitted from the generosity of the people of Waterford.
