BOYLE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS DRAW
The annual Christmas Draw will take place this year during Christmas week with a top prize of €1,000! The funds from the draw go directly to the running costs, erection and insurance of the Lights for the Festive Season. We appeal to every business to contribute either a minimum of €50, and/or sell the two cards. In years gone by there was a door to door collection each year where businesses were expected to contribute sums of up to €300 towards the Christmas lights. Thankfully with the Christmas draw your contribution towards lighting Boyle is selling the raffle cards. Over the past few years the willingness of so many people to support the Draw has been remarkable. The Raffle cards are all around town and by buying a line or 3 you are contributing to lighting up Boyle for the festival season. Boyle is our town and we ask you to give our Boyle Christmas Lights Draw a priority space on your counter or desk. We thank the Businesses of Boyle for selling the cards and to the Community for supporting the Boyle and look forward to a busy and bright Christmas in Boyle.
