supporter for 2025, helping us reach our goal of raising €2 million since the event began.
The match will not only provide an exciting evening of entertainment but also
help fund critical cancer research. Every ticket purchased and donation made
brings us one step closer to a future free from cancer.
Ticket prices:
- Adults: €10
- Children: €5
Hurling for Cancer Research was founded in 2011 by Jim Bolger and Davy
Russell, when Jim challenged Davy and his colleagues to a hurling match to raise
funds for cancer research.
Since then, the event has helped raise almost €1.7 million towards an overall
investment from the Irish Cancer Society of €30 million in life-changing clinical
trials and cutting-edge cancer research studies. Each year, the Society funds over
100 cancer researchers across Ireland, thanks to the support of events such as
Hurling For Cancer Research.
This year, we are thrilled to have Centra as the official partner for 2025. Centra’s
support will help make this year’s event a huge success, driving us towards
our €2 million fundraising milestone.
“Hurling for Cancer represents the best of both worlds: passion on the pitch and
hope in homes across Ireland.”
— Luke Hanlon, Managing Director, Centra
“We’re excited to have Centra on board, and their support will be key in reaching
our €2 million goal.”
— Jim Bolger, Co-Founder, Hurling for Cancer Research
