More than €30,000 was raised for five local charities helping people in Galway from the annual Mayoral Ball last month.
The 2026 Galway City Mayoral Ball took place on Saturday, April 18 at the Galmont Hotel. Over 300 people attended the event hosted by Mayor of the City of Galway, Cllr Mike Cubbard.
The charities supported by this year’s Mayoral Ball are Ability West, ACT for Meningitis, AsIAm, Galway Rape Crisis Centre, and HopeSpace.
Mayor of the City of Galway, Cllr Mike Cubbard said, “The Mayoral Ball is a fantastic opportunity to raise funds for five fantastic charities providing services locally in Galway City.”
“Thank you to all of the fantastic sponsors, donors and attendees who came together to make this unforgettable night, which raised over €30,000.”
Mayor Cubbard added that all of the proceeds of the ball will go to the chosen charities.
Ball attendees were entertained by MC Ronan Lardner and were treated to the peals of the bell of Liam Silke, the Town Crier, a charity auction facilitated by O’Donnellan and Joyce, and a raffle featuring a host of fantastic prizes sponsored by businesses and organisations in the city.
