We are thrilled to announce that this year’s Annual Fundraising Ball will be held at the Limerick Strand Hotel on Saturday, September 28th at 6:30 pm. The MWS Community Annual Fundraising Ball aims to unite the community in supporting our crucial work in aiding homeless men, women, and children. It is an excellent opportunity for companies to promote their brand to a high-profile audience.

Following the success of last year’s event, table reservations are already pouring in. All proceeds will directly benefit our charity’s services, providing vital assistance to those facing homelessness in Limerick, Clare, and North Tipperary.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the local and multinational companies whose support has been instrumental in making our Annual Fundraising Ball a success and sustaining our services for those in need.

Beyond the glitz, raffle prizes, and delicious food, the Annual Fundraising Ball offers over 250 guests a night to remember and instills hope in those who require it the most. We hope you can join us once again this year and thank you for your unwavering support. If you are interested in attending this years Annual Ball get in contact though the form below.
