Bereaved father Paul McKenna from Derrymacash organised a fundraising basketball tournament in memory of his beloved baby daughter Darcy who passed away on August 17, 2022.
Local businesses generously donated prizes for raffles throughout the day as the teams battled it out for the Darcy McKenna Shield and Darcy McKenna Cup.
In a heartwarming gesture, various businesses located in the South Lake health and wellbeing suite offered mini treatments to people affected by child loss.
The day's activities concluded with a poignant candlelit vigil outside the leisure centre as part of the global Wave of Light initiative, which commemorates little ones who were taken too soon.
Photographer Tony Hendron went along to snap some of those who supported this worthy event.
