ALL THE MONEY from this will go to the Healthy Vine Trust for assisting with the above initiatives. A team from Cork that went out two years ago raised enough money to equip a clinic. From what had simply been a shell of a building, it is now transformed into a well equipped medical facility, with a competent paediatrician acting as Clinic Supervisor. So your participation in the quiz is enormously helpful.

    Please support this worthy cause by participating on the night.
