Couples, friends and families are invited to celebrate Valentine’s Day in style while supporting the fight against cancer.

The annual Marie Keating Foundation’s Valentine Ball will take place on Saturday, 13 February 2015 in Palmerstown House, Johnstown, Kildare . The Ball will begin at 7.30pm with a Champagne reception followed by a four course meal at 8.30pm. There will be complementary roses and chocolates.

Paul Williams, crime correspondent, will be the after dinner speaker.

After the meal, a band and DJ will be there to play music into the night so guests can dance to their heart’s content.

The annual ball is a night of celebration of all types of love and, in the past, has included engagements, anniversary celebrations and the coming together of families to joyously celebrate the marriages of couples who have recently passed away. The event also includes groups of friends who come together to dance the night away in an atmosphere of fun and glamour.

Tickets are €90 each. Tables of 10 are €850. This event is hosted by the Naas Lions Club in aid of the Marie Keating Foundation.
