Rosabel’s Ball to mark 7th Anniversary of little Galway Girl

On Saturday, April 20th, to mark the 7th anniversary of Rosabel Monroe, the enchanting ambiance of The Hardiman Hotel in Eyre Square will set the stage for a third prestigious black-tie ball in her honour.

One of the most stylish events in Galway’s social calendar, the evening will be MC’d by broadcaster and podcaster, Síle Seoige who is known for her unwavering support of this project and other charitable causes. Síle expressed her excitement, stating; "I am thrilled to be part of such a remarkable evening. The charity's incredible work touches the lives of countless families during their most difficult times."

Following the resounding success of last year's event, John Davin of JCD Sales will return to captivate attendees with an unparalleled drinks reception before guests indulge in a delectable four-course meal crafted by the award-winning chef of The Hardiman Hotel. Later in the evening The Wilful and other musical talents are sure to provide an unforgettable night of entertainment.

Guests can anticipate an array of surprises throughout the evening, along with ample opportunities to support the cause by participating in various fundraising activities offered by businesses from across the country.

Rosabel’s Rooms is a Galway based child loss project that has become a national initiative, in collaboration with Irish Hospice Foundation. It was established by Dr. Suzanne McClean and Gary Monroe in memory of their beloved daughter, Rosabel, who died suddenly and unexpectedly in April 2017, aged just sixteen months.

Suzanne said; "We facilitate financial and therapeutic supports to families around Ireland who lose a child from stillbirth to 21 years, no matter what the cause of death. Rosabel’s Room-to-Heal Fund provides financial support to help bereaved families with funeral costs, taking time off work to grieve, or whatever the needs of the family might be. Rosabel’s Room-to-Talk Fund enables families impacted by child loss to attend for therapy free of charge, throughout Ireland. Finally, through the Design & Dignity programme at Irish Hospice Foundation, hospitals can apply to Rosabel’s Rooms for supported funding for the development of family focused bereavement suites."

Suzanne added that she is "extremely grateful for the ongoing support in driving Rosabel’s legacy, which enables Rosabel’s Rooms to directly assist other families bereaved by child loss."
