RED was the colour in Holy Family on Wednesday with the school showing their support for The Glowhearts4Crumlin ‘Wear Red’ campaign taking place this week, which raises funds for Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital in Crumlin.
The campaign was started by Kerry mothers who each have a child born with a heart defect.
The ‘Glow Hearts 4 Crumlin’ group consists of three mums from Tralee – Sinead O’Connor, Sonya Doyle and Jenny Pye – and Sharon Brosnan from Abbeydorney, Gillian O’Donoghue from Killarney and Sinead Malone Walker from Rathmore.

The fundraiser encourages schools and businesses to wear red for the day and make a small cash contribution. CBS and Ardfert National Schools also took part in the initiative.
Last year they generated a fantastic €18,000 which was divided evenly between Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital in Crumlin and the Ronald McDonald House.
Money raised by the group will be going towards a new day ward that is being built at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital.
