Everyone at St Francis Hospice, Bohemian Football Club, the Dignam family and Aslan wishes to express our gratitude to everyone who supported our one-off fundraising jersey in memory of Christy Dignam.
Thanks to your support, a cheque of €141,976 – all profits from shirt sales – was presented to St Francis Hospice today, which will go a long way to helping them provide the extraordinary service to loved ones and their families.
We also wish to extend our thanks to our partners Des Kelly Interiors for recognising the importance of fundraising for St Francis Hospice and making this initiative possible by giving up their main sponsor space at the front of our jersey for last month’s Dublin derby against Shamrock Rovers.
Christy, the much-loved Aslan frontman, overcame significant personal challenges to uplift generations across our communities.
He was cherished by so many, and it has been a privilege to stand with his family and support those who gave him the care and love that he deserved in his final days at St Francis Hospice.
St Francis Hospice provides a specialist palliative care service for the people of north Dublin city and county and surrounding counties and we encourage anyone who missed out on ordering the Aslan jersey to get behind their fundraising initiatives in any way they can: sfh.ie/donate
Pictured today at St Francis Hospice are Christy’s wife Kathryn, daughter Kiera, son-in-law Darren and grandson Cian; Greg Kelly from Des Kelly Interiors; Bohemians staff Declan Devine, Laura Clifford and Daniel Lambert; and St Francis Hospice staff.
