On Friday, 18 November the RCSI Red Cross Society organised 'Lights, Camera, Auction!' to raise much needed funds for the Irish Red Cross.

The theme was Hollywood glamour and the students did not disappoint, walking the red carpet in style.

As well as the serious matter of fundraising, it was a fun filled evening of entertainment, provided by our own students.

The Red Cross Society team, led by students Chelsea Garcia and Yashoda Singh, worked tirelessly to obtain items that money usually can't buy - such as a private anatomy lesson with Dr Alice McGarvey, a walk-on part in the popular soap Fair City and many other items.

Speaking at the event Margie Morgan from Student Services, said: "It is fabulous to see the hard work that the Society have put into this event. They set out with the intention of raising €1,500 for the Irish Red Cross and more than trebled that. They should be very proud".

The Irish Red Cross works both at home in Ireland and in countries overseas which have been damaged by wars or natural disasters.
