GAA President Christy Cooney and GAA stars, including Kildare footballers John Doyle and Anthony Rainbow and Dublin's Stephen Cluxton, Bryan Cullen and Philly McMahon, were on hand to announce details of the annual Support your County Ball event in aid of Temple Street Children's University Hospital.

Sponsored by InjuriesBoard.ie, the Support your County Ball will take place in the Hogan Suite, Croke Park on Friday 17th September 2010. Tickets for this hugely popular event are only €100 and all proceeds will go towards the purchase of an Anaesthetic Machine for the Hospital.

The evening will commence with a lively reception complete with live entertainment at 7.30pm, followed by dinner, plenty of sporting banter, live music and a whole lot more throughout the night. Guests wear their county colours and each table will be themed and decorated in accordance to county. Once again this year, Michael Lyster will be MC for the evening and Paul Collins will be the quizmaster for Ireland's biggest GAA table quiz.

Guests can expect to rub shoulders with an array of sports stars and indeed with celebrities from all over Ireland who will be out in force to support this unique and worthwhile event. Speaking about the event, MC for the night, Michael Lyster said, "I am delighted to once again be involved in this hugely popular and unique event which is now in its fifth year and I would encourage true "County" supporters to join us on the evening in aid of this truly worthy cause."

Michelle McGoldrick, Senior Fundraising and Events Coordinator at the Fundraising Office at Temple Street said "This event appeals to genuine "County" supporters and thanks to our new sponsor InjuriesBoard.ie, all proceeds from this event will go directly towards the purchase of an Anaesthetic Machine for the Hospital. This piece of life saving equipment will enable us to continue to provide the best possible environment for the babies and children in our care."

Patricia Byron, Chief Executive of InjuriesBoard.ie said that the Board was delighted to support Temple Street's efforts this year. "As an Agency which works every day with victims of accidents, including children, we recognise the great work that Temple Street does, not just for sick and injured children, but in supporting parents at a very difficult time"
