What an incredible night we had at the Stephenites Lip Sync in the Great National Hotel Ballina — and we just want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who made it such a phenomenal success.
First and foremost, thank you to all the acts who took part on the night — the effort, commitment, and courage to get up on stage and entertain a packed room was outstanding. The standard was unbelievable and you all played your part in making the evening one to remember.
A massive word of appreciation also to our fantastic judges Ray Collins, David Brady and Katherine Lynch, who brought great energy, fairness and fun to the event and helped make the night so enjoyable for everyone.
A special mention too to our brilliant MCs Dermot and PJ, who were outstanding on the night. Their professionalism, energy and humour really added to the show, kept everything running smoothly, and made the night even more enjoyable for everyone in attendance.
To our local businesses and supporters — thank you. Your generosity and backing means so much, and it’s that continued community spirit that makes events like this possible. We are extremely grateful for all the sponsorship, raffle prizes and support in the lead-up and on the night itself.
We also want to sincerely thank Áine and her team, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to put the show together — the organisation, time, and effort involved was enormous and it certainly showed on the night. An outstanding job from start to finish.
A special thanks as well to Shane and his team for the ultra-professional sound and lighting setup — the production was top class and created a brilliant atmosphere in the room. It made a huge difference and added to the overall quality of the show.
To the Great National Hotel Ballina, thank you for everything — the hospitality, professionalism and support throughout was excellent, and we are very grateful for all you did to help ensure the night ran so smoothly.
To all our volunteers, helpers, organisers, and everyone who gave their time in any way — selling tickets, promoting the event, supporting online, organising logistics, or helping on the night — thank you. Your effort and dedication does not go unnoticed.
And of course, to the public, everyone who attended, donated, sponsored and supported the fundraising effort in person and online — the support was truly overwhelming. Nights like this remind us how lucky we are to be part of such a strong and generous community.
Finally, a very special thank you to Moy Solar, our main sponsor for the second year running. Your continued support is hugely appreciated and plays a massive part in helping make this event possible — we are sincerely grateful.
Congratulations to everyone involved on a fantastic night supporting two brilliant causes — Ballina Stephenites GAA Club and The Sunflower Children’s Hospice.
We are truly grateful to each and every one of you
