Support Saoirse
At LFC Wellington we take a lot of pride in supporting local charities. We’ve held fundraisers for Heart Kids, Lower Hutt Foodbank, Red Cross and the Wellington City Mission, including spending a day there volunteering just before Xmas. Community support with these fundraisers has been over whelming and hugely appreciated by the LFC Wellington committee and our chosen charities.
Now one of our LFC Wellington members needs our support.
David Gaffney’s 5 year old daughter Saoirse has been diagnosed with stage 5 cancer. Her family will likely need to head down to Christchurch with her for 8-9 months whilst she gets treatment. We all know the daily struggles all families have, but add into the mix of being away from home for that long, and wanting to stay by your baby’s side the whole way — it is all a huge financial burden. Here’s their story: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/supportsaoirse
We’ve decided to put together 4 fundraisers; a Karma Keg at Queen of Jackson’s bar in Petone, a Quiz Night at 5 Stags (above Four Kings – where we watched the Europa League Final) and a Comedy Night at VK’s Comedy & Blues Bar. We will also be auctioning items on Trade Me and we’ll add links to these when the items are available.
Karma Keg - When: Saturday 18th June, from 3pm until 5pm
Baylands Brewery have kindly donated a keg of beer which will be on tap at Queen of Jackson bar in Petone, with all money raised going to Saoirse and her family.

Quiz Night - When: Wednesday 29th June, starting at 6:30pm
The awesome team at Four Kings have once again looked after us by donating their bar for a Quiz Night. It will be held in the 5 Stags (upstairs from Four Kings).
Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased here:

There is enough capacity for 25 teams of 4-6 people and we will lock the page when we hit this number.
Please be sure to bring spare change for a raffle that will have prizes donated from some supportive Wellington businesses.
