Joint Organiser Fergus Ahern, Chairman Boyle Arts Festival has indicated the work is still coming in.
He said that “there will be four main beneficiaries of the funds raised, all of which are organisations with long ties with the devastated areas and ‘on the ground experience’ in Haiti –
Medicines Sans Frontieres, The Holy Ghost Fathers, Haven the Irish Building Trust and
Our Little Brothers and Sisters ( Nos Petit frères at Soeurs), a charity dealing with orphaned and abandoned children. All funds will go directly to these organisations for immediate relief efforts. “I wish to thank all the artists and collectors who have contributed work so generously.”
There will be work at the auction for every pocket and the organisers hope that private individuals as well as companies will support the sale.
