MADRA fashion show fundraiser to honour N17 crash victims

The fundraiser for MADRA will honour Úna, Ciara, and Saoirse Bowden who were killed on Mayo road last month

Late mother Úna Bowden had strong family links with Kiltimagh and Knock

Úna Bowden and her daughters, Ciara and Saoirse died following a collision near Claremorris.

The people of Mayo and Galway are invited to an afternoon fashion show on Sunday, June 9, in memory of Úna, Saoirse, and Ciara Bowden. 

The fashion show, hosted by MoyGym, aims to honour the memory of the mother and daughters who were killed in a crash on the N17 earlier this year.

Taking place in their hometown of Moycullen, county Galway, all proceeds from the event will be donated to MADRA in their names. 

The Bowden family, who tragically lost their lives, were much loved members of the Moycullen community. Known for their warm smiles and love for animals, Úna, Saoirse, and Ciara were dedicated supporters of MADRA Dog Rescue. They were regular visitors to the MADRA Charity Shop and were always welcomed with open arms by the MADRA team.

The fashion extravaganza will take place at MoyGym, Unit 15, Cearnóg Nua, Moycullen, where attendees will enjoy a stunning collection of fashion wear as well as delicious bites sponsored by Café Nua, The Fish Shop, and The White Gables in Moycullen. There will also be a raffle with fabulous prizes. 

Tickets cost €10 for adults, €5 for children, and €20 for a family, and are available for purchase at both MoyGym and the MADRA Charity Shop in Moycullen.
