Uptown Café will host a free family fun day this Saturday, 28th May in aid of Baby Ríoghnach-Ann’s Education Fund.
Located on the Justice Walsh Road, the Letterkenny café launched the ‘Copper Hopper Challenge’ to raise funds for Baby Ríoghnach-Ann and they hope to add to the fund through the family fun day.
Running from 12noon to 3.30pm, the day will include a host of activities and family fun and entertainment for people of all ages.
There’ll be bouncy castles, face-painting, music, dancing and entertainment from a host of local musicians who are coming along to show their support for the cause. Musicians include; DJ Tubbs, Maria McCormick, Eddie Gallagher, Anne Biddy, Paul McCahill, Martin Orr, John Dolan and David Craig.
Ahead of the family fun day, Uptown Café will also host a coffee morning where customers and guests are invited to come along to taste the various delights on offer including pastries, scones and tray bakes. The coffee morning will get underway at 9am and will run until 12noon.
Milford man, Aidan Cannon and Manus Kelly of Uptown Café are behind the Copper Hopper Challenge. Manus Kelly said the support from the local community has been over-whelming.
“We’ve had a very positive response to the Copper Hopper Challenge in aid of Baby Ríoghnach-Ann’s Education Fund. The support from family, friends and customers has been brilliant and we’re delighted to be associated with such a worthy cause. We’re looking forward to the family fun day this Saturday and we’re hoping to get a great turnout. There’ll be something for people of all ages, so all are welcome to come along and show their support.”
The Copper Hopper Challenge has gathered a lot of momentum since it was first launched. Donegal’s Bernard McHugh was among the many local celebrities who called into Uptown Café, Letterkenny to show his support. Anyone wishing to donate their coppers can call into Uptown Café on the Justice Walsh Road or G&G Beauticians on the Church Lane, Letterkenny.
