initiative, Play in Pink were, Miriam Hand, National Co-Ordinator for Play
in Pink and Ronan Mullarney.
Galway’s Ronan Mullarney has been announced as an Ambassador for the Play
in Pink initiative, which part of the National Breast Cancer Research
Institute.
Mullarney, who earned his place on the Challenge Tour for 2024, will carry
the Play in Pink logo for 2024 and will also be ‘Playing in Pink’ during
the year with a striking pink shirt on display to showcase his support for
the charity.
Over 200 clubs ran Play in Pink days in 2023, raising over €550,000 for
the charity and there were over 15,000 participants in the various events
across the year.
“I’m delighted to be part of the Play in Pink initiative,” said Ronan.
“It’s a hugely important charity that funds research at the Lambe
Institute at the University of Galway to help improve outcomes for
patients with the ultimate aim of eradicating this awful disease.”
“So it’s with great pride that I’ll be wearing the logo and Playing in
Pink this season to help create awareness for PlayInPink.com and I would
encourage every club in Ireland to look into running a Play in Pink day as
one of their fundraisers for this very worthy charity.”
Miriam Hand, National Co-Ordinator for Play in Pink, said that it really
is marvellous to have the support of Ronan to help us further the work of
the National Breast Cancer Research Institute.
“He’s a Galway lad too and we’ve been following his progress over the last
few years so it’s fantastic to see him on the Challenge Tour now,” she
said.
“I’ve no doubt he has his eyes on the bigger DP World Tour opportunities.
We wish him every success and we’re delighted to have him as one of our
Ambassadors.”
It’s simple to hold a Play in Pink day – just pick a day at your club,
register it on the website, and a member of the Play in Pink team will get
in contact with you to help you with prizes and fundraising ideas.
