Ireland’s Lithuanians collect charity with basketball

The event, organized by non-profit organization “Ireland’s Lithuanians Care”, invited teams and individual lovers of basketball to have a go in the nation’s favourite game and donate for a noble cause.

Various business organizations and private donors helped raise 2,840 euros that will be donated to the Mothers’ Union (Mamų unija), a Lithuanian-based charity that works with children with cancer.
