All proceeds from the night will go to The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust.
Martin was joint manager of the Donegal Schoolboys League 2007 team that competed in the Kennedy Cup and Foyle Cup tournaments last summer.
He was the Lifford Area Rep on the executive committee of the Donegal Junior League and was to the fore in the recent redevelopment of the Diamond Park in Ballyare.
