Friday 27 May 2011
WINEPORT HOSTS CHARITY EVENT
Fundraising and awareness evening for
The Irish Heart Foundation and The Irish Kidney Association with John Healy and The Restaurant Show Team
Wineport Lodge, Athlone, Tuesday, June 21st 2011
Ray Byrne, Jane English and the team at Wineport Lodge are throwing the bash of the year this June to assist their colleague and friend - the loveable Maitre D’- John Healy of RTE’s ‘The Restaurant’ who is seriously ill and requires a heart transplant.
To create awareness, raise funds for both the Irish Heart and Irish Kidney Foundations plus contribute to a special fund set-up to assist John Healy though his medical journey, Wineport will host a very special evening at ‘The Restaurant’ on Tuesday June 21st 2011.
The event kicks off at 7.30pm with a champagne and canapé reception followed by a seriously delicious 3 course dinner, developed and prepared by 2 genuine Celebrity Chef’s.
Guests will have the opportunity to participate in a real live version of Ireland’s most popular TV cookery Show and join legendary critics Lucinda O’ Sullivan, Paolo Tullio & Tom Doorly, The Restaurant Show’s Maitre D John Healy and Louise Lennox and a couple of top foodie guest critics including Norah Casey, Celebrity Chef’s Derry Clarke and Domini Kemp for an evening of gourmet food and wine and see if guests can work out who’s cooking in the kitchen – and which of the two participating celebrity chefs gave the winning performance of the night!
Your views will be important too as the public vote will account for 40% of the total with the hard-to-please expert critics deciding the rest.
The real purpose of the evening is to raise awareness of the life-saving importance of organ donation and to look after your heart health.
This ticket only evening will be a lot of fun with a great raffle for some fantastic spot prizes. Tickets are €100, limited to 100 people, and are available directly from Wineport Lodge, location for The Restaurant Show. Tel 090 64 39010, or email lodge@wineport.
