Brian Boru Crown, Christmas Lights 2014, Road signs and Long Service Awards for Ballybunion people

Jewels for Cures

This beautiful Brian Boru Millennium crown will be on display in the Seanchaí, Listowel  on December 5 2014.

Jewels for Cures is an innovative charity raising funds for cancer research. The crown is made from old and broken jewellery donated by the public. Lord Inchiquin is the patron of the charity and all the money raised goes to Professor John Crown's Cancer Clinical Research Trust in St. Vincent's Hospital.

Jewels for Cures are now involved in another project called, The Descendency Scroll, full details of which can be found on http://www.jewelsforcures.ie/descendancy-scroll

Listowel people who have  donated jewellery which was used in  the creation of the Crown will be signing the Scroll on the day.

Alison McCormick, Director and Founder of Jewels for Cures oversaw the production of the crown with a voluntary committee and it was produced by Da Capo Goldsmiths. The crown was part of the recent millennium celebrations of the Irish high king’s Battle of Clontarf.

Come along on Friday at 11.00a.m. to see the crown and to make a donation to help this very deserving charity.
