Kerry Hospice Foundation

FUNDRAISERS

It has been a very busy few weeks for the Kerry Hospice Foundation. The kind people of Kerry have organised many great events in aid of Kerry Hospice and The Palliative Care Unit.

One such event was held in Killarney last week. A huge thank you and well done to all in Killarney who organised a hugely successful golf classic ,that tied in with a walk and followed a very well supported coffee morning which was held in April in the Drom Hall.

Tomas Kelliher and his group organised all of the above in memory of his wife Sheila Mac Kelliher. This was a fantastic event which was so brilliantly organised and so well supported by all.

The golf classic was held over two days in Killarney with over 90 teams taken part. Thankfully the weather stayed fine for the event.

There was a huge turnout for the walking for Sheila which took place on many different routes on the second day. Well done to all involved and to all who supported in anyway.

Listowel Branch are having an open night on Wednesday the 24 th of May at 8 pm in Listowel Arms.

Ted Moynihan and Mr McCormack will be in attendance and will be discussing the progress on the new building and all about the work of the Kerry Hospice Foundation . Every body welcome and we look forward to meeting you all.
