Tipperary community organised three amazing fundraisers for Hospice over festive period

Hospice Fundraiser

The power of community commitment and unselfishness was very much in evidence again in the closing days of December 2023 in Burncourt. Burncourt Hospice Committee was delighted with the response to their traditional post-Christmas fundraiser in the local communities.

This started with the Skeheenarinky 45 Drive Card Game on Wednesday December 27 in the Olde Shanbally at 3pm. Ably organised by Seánie and friends this was a buoyant start to the fundraising.

On Friday, December 29, the Hospice Auction Night took place at the Olde Shanbally. The many quality items and donations for this worthy cause were greatly appreciated.

A great night was had by all with the worthwhile lots exciting some competitive bidding. Auctioneer on the night Kevin Casey did a tremendous job with his lively banter and persuasive tactics. A presentation was made to Tom O’Brien auctioneer in recognition of his contribution to the December Auction since the inception of the local Hospice Group.

At the time of writing, all roads were leading to Glengarra for the New Year’s Day Walk being held by Burncourt Hospice Committee together with the Rhododendron Walking Festival Committee whose support is tremendous.

All funds raised go directly to South Tipperary Hospice and The Hospice Suite at St. Theresa’s Hospital, Clogheen.
