The Lagan Dragons' Annual Halloween Fundraiser: A "Spooktacular" Night in Support of Breast Cancer Awareness
On October 26, nearly 100 enthusiastic supporters gathered at Shaftesbury Bowling Club in Belfast for the Lagan Dragons' annual Halloween fundraising event. Guests arrived in creative and spooky costumes, ready to enjoy a night filled with lively dancing, fun games, and activities for both children and adults.
This year’s Halloween celebration was nothing short of a “spooktacular” success, with the highlight being a generous raffle featuring superb prizes, all kindly donated by supporters. The atmosphere was vibrant, as attendees rallied together to help raise awareness and funds for breast cancer support. Thanks to the incredible community spirit, the event raised over £4,000—a remarkable achievement that will make a meaningful impact.
Events like this underscore the Lagan Dragons’ commitment to fostering a supportive community around breast cancer awareness, bringing people together for a cause that continues to touch lives. The funds raised will aid essential initiatives and remind us of the power of unity and compassion in driving positive change.

The Limerick Dragons made waves this October by proudly participating in the Swim in Pink and a fabulous Fashion Show in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Known for their strength, resilience, and unity, the Limerick Dragons—a dedicated team of breast cancer survivors and supporters—took to the water and runway with passion.
Their participation not only raised awareness and monies for Breast cancer Research but also celebrated the spirit of those affected by breast cancer. Dressed for the runway , they brought heart, hope, and inspiration to all, reinforcing the message that together, we can make a difference.
To round up a busy month a new helm passed her helm test and achieved her certification.
