Ógra FF Charity fundraiser for Pieta House

[Warrior of Destiny]

This year Ógra has committed itself to campaigning for Suicide awareness and prevention.

Ógra will be raising awareness and funds for Pieta House, suicide intervention on Grafton street

With The Dublin Gospel Choir

It will be a bucket collection for the suicide intervention charity with all monies being raised going towards supporting the single ''Bridge over troubled water'' and help get it as high up the charts as possible for Christmas. Then if people are interested in having a sleep out on the main bridge in their city, that would be excellent.

During the day to have a bucket collection on Grafton St. Santa Hats and T shirts.
Then the Dublin Gospel Choir will sing on Grafton St, whilst a collection goes on around them.
Also, were looking to get some famous faces in here and there for a half hour or so to help with media coverage.
Hopefully... Bernard Dunne and Paul McGrath

Then that night, organising a sleep out/or stay out on O'Connell bridge

Hopefully other units accross the country will join us and collect money in their local areas also!!

We are asking our Senior Party members to come and join us also on the day and we are asking them to help out their local units!

Right lads, basically the stats say that every 45 minutes someone attempts suicide in Ireland. Ógra FF is committed to supporting counselling services and other prevention services. If anyone wants to help out get in touch with me and I'll give you details.

Obviously there is a lot of stigma around FF so if you don't want to help out directly please consider buying the 'Bridge over troubled water' song for €1.29 to help support Pieta house!

Any chance those involved in the Brians and Marys Show who were responsible for this yet walked away on huge pensions would see fit to contribute first?

Hope nobody related to Charlie Haughey is in charge of the fund

Great idea. Hope ye raise a lot.

( btw - unbelievable the number of charities looking for funds this xmas - I`ve got at least 15 requests )

I honestly don't know buddy.

@Hammer, Lol Don't worry Seán Haughey won't be anywhere near it!

I was hoping you saw the humour

Best of luck.

Maybe a good idea not to involve the former Taoiseach in the fundraising effort.. bleedin' cribbers & moaners

Jesus Christ.
Do you people have no shame - did your former leader not advice people to commit suicide.
Trying to make political capital out of misery is the pits.
Many financially depressed people are suicidal - why did they over borrow?
Why are they in negative equity?
You people are scum.

All we're doing is raising funds for Pieta house. I'm not getting into this to avoid politicizing the event.
