Neil McKinnon raises €385.20 for Galway Hospice through three fundraising events!

Well done to 9-year old Neil McKinnon who recently raised €385.20 for Galway Hospice!  Wow!

Neill planned his three fundraisers with great precision.  The “main event” was an Afternoon Tea Party at his home on Saturday 28th September.  Neil also organised a ‘Guess The Score’ in the All Ireland Hurling Match – Clare v Cork, along with a ‘Guess the number of Jelly Beans in the Jar’.   Neil then donated all the proceeds from the three events to Galway Hospice.

Pictured is Neil presenting Sean O’Healy (Galway Hospice CEO) with a cheque for €385.20.

Many thanks to Neil for his fantastic enthusiasm, for his ingenuity in thinking up three ways to raise money for Galway Hospice, and for doing all the organising.  He even insisted on delivering the money himself!  Thanks Neil for choosing Galway Hospice to benefit from your efforts. Well done!!
