Wesley Snipes to bring suicide awareness to Galway

Most of us know him from such Hollywood classics as Money Train and Murder at 1600, but over the last few years, actor Wesley Snipes has been making his name in another, more spiritually rewarding, field.

As a motivational speaker Mr. Snipes has been touring the world addressing the problem of suicide among young Caucasian males. Wesley was personally affected by the problem when he saw a documentary about it on TV one night while a bit drunk and unemployed. That night he vowed to put his celebrity muscle behind the cause and has made himself a decent bit of cash at the same time. Handy that.

He will speak for one night (15th August) in the Town Hall Theatre and tickets, priced at 15 euro each, are on sale from the box office in the Town Hall.

"White Men Don't Jump!" is a moving, powerful evening that should not be missed.
