Fundraising Events for our beloved rascal...

Various fundraising events are circulating the internet, majority of which are on Facebook.
Here are confirmed events to date. Every penny will be accounted for and go towards the Kevin Bell Remembrance Fund. 

Kevin often frequented the Canal Court, so it seems only fitting that the first fundraiser in his memory will be held there.  Thanks to Quizmaster Aidan O' Rourke for organising tomorrow night, Tuesday 18th June, so quickly. It is safe to say that Kevin was an avid Down supporter, regularly seen sporting his beloved county's colours, so I can only imagine he'll be devastated that he is missing out on the team appearance and honoured that his idol Benny Coulter has offered a jersey up for auctioning, along with Kevin McKernan's Man of the Match top. Quiz begins 9pm.


Next up is the Repatriation Run, or walk for those of us who are athletically challenged, which will take place Thursday evening. Details provided in poster below.
Newry Mitchells GFC are hosting a Big Breakfast morning in Bellini's
Drop by for a wee bacon sandwich. All details provided in posted below.


Then back to Bellini's Friday night - this without doubt would be the favourite fundraising event in his name - a ZUMBATHON will take place between 7 - 9pm. 
Contact Ann at Academy Dance Studio on 07718093136 for further details.

After consultation with the Bell Family, the team at Bosco for Africa have decided to go ahead with their fundraising concert on Friday 21 June. The proceeds of the concert will now be split equally between the repatriation fund and the Africa project. The concert, starring West End performer Peter Corry, will be held in the Bell family's honour and in honour of Kevin's love of music and craic.
The concert will take place on Friday 21st June at 7.30pm in Newry Town Hall and tickets are available from Carlin Records and by calling 07732 277639 or 07708 781531.

Kevin Bell was a lot of things, a friend, a joker and surprisingly to some, an award winning irish dancer. A Night For Kevin - Craic agus Ceol, will see some of his old dancing partners take to the stage in his honour. This is one not to be missed. Tickets are on sale NOW from Killeavy Club.

Donation envelopes are now available and donation drop off points have been placed at Newry Golf Inn, Good To Go Newsagents, Sugar Island and Zest Foodbar, Buttercrane. 

Each of these events to raise funds for our dearest friend Kevin's repatriation have received the blessing from the Bell family - those wishing to plan a fundraiser, don't be hesitant to get in contact. 

Grace.
