The Members of Galway Salthill Rotary held a number of fundraising events for Galway Hospice, which raised the considerable sum of €11,000!  The events consisted of a bucket collection on 7th December and bag packing on 14th December 2013.

Galway Salthill Rotary have been great supporters of Galway Hospice over the years, and these fundraisers held at the end of 2013 are the latest in a series of events organised by Galway Salthill Rotary over the years that have played an important part in the ongoing fundraising requirements of Galway Hospice.
