While I'm reasonably impartial, I have to say I'm delighted to see Tony Ward from Fighting Blindness shortlisted for an award. And I'm very happy to see Concern's Direct Dialogue team get shortlisted - I always thing face-to-face fundraisers are completely overlooked and undermined in our sector.
The whole shortlist is full of lovely people - many of whom I've had the pleasure to work with.
It should be a great night and I hope you're attending.
Now...to make it more interesting...I've launched the First Annual Irish Fundraising Awards Sweep.
Can you correctly predict the winners of the Irish Fundraising Awards 2015 from a selection of the categories?
It'll cost you a €5 donation to enter! You can pay your fee here: http://www.oneinfour.ie/help-us/
Half of all entry fees will go to the person with the most correct guesses.The other half will be donated to the amazing charity One In Four.
