Pat Finn, of DNG Pat Finn Auctioneers, has been a tremendous supporter of Galway Hospice over the years, organising many events to benefit Galway Hospice. Pat’s interest stems from personal family experience of the services of Galway Hospice, and this has motivated him to organise several very successful fundraising events for the Hospice. Last Christmas Pat organised a Christmas Day Swim and Church Gate Bucket Collection for Galway Hospice. The proceeds of these two events, amounting to €2762.16, were recently presented to Galway Hospice at Pat Finn’s premises in Market Square, Ballinasloe. Pictured at the presentation of the cheque are (l-r): Michael Daly, Jacqueline Daly, Pat Finn, Sean O’Healy (Galway Hospice) and Paddy Finn. Thanks to Pat and his organising team, and thanks especially to the people of Ballinasloe for their wonderful support of this and other events held in aid of Galway Hospice.
