ONE of Limerick’s hardest working and best known charities reached a special milestone recently.
Limerick Marine Search and Rescue has been serving Limerick for 30 years now providing crucial river based support to the gardaí, fire service and the coastguard.
Back in 1986, sports divers Jimmy Connors and Tony Cusack founded Limerick Marine Search and Rescue after they were asked to help locate a young man who had tragically lost his life in the waters at Parteen. Since then they have inspired hundreds of volunteers to do the same and helped hundreds of families in Limerick in the process.
To mark this very special milestone there was a black tie ball held in their honour at Limerick Strand Hotel last Friday evening.
Chairman Joe Morgan organised the ball which brought together those who have volunteered for the charity, those who work closely with them or have been helped by them, and a mix of business people and members of the local community.
ILoveLimerick’s Richard Lynch hosted the fundraiser and funds raised from the event will go back into the charity which relies solely on donations to carry out its crucial work year in, year out.
Highlights of the evening included a drinks reception on arrival, a delicious three course meal, a charity auction and lots of great music and entertainment.
