Fundraising Activities

More and more people are discovering the joy and satisfaction of taking part in fundraising activities for Amma. Dinner parties, pamper days, car boot sales, a race night, a raffle, a golf outing and women’s marathons brought in much needed funds for Amma’s charities and her visit to Ireland. Many people are now also contributing by direct debit. The need of course is ongoing and if you would like to get involved in future fundraising activities, please let us know.

One of the highlights of this year’s fundraising activities was the sponsored Croagh Patrick Mountain Climb, held on the May bank holiday weekend. Thirty people from around the country participated and a staggering €19,000 was raised. We are now planning the climb as an annual event. Croagh Patrick near Westport, Co. Mayo, is well known as a sacred mountain in Ireland. There is an annual pilglrimage to the top of this mountain where a Mass is celebrated. This year’s Mass was televised around the world. Contact Geraldine for next year’s Croagh Patrick Mountain Climb, see details below
