KERRY Hospice Foundation received another big contribution on Wednesday thanks to a Killarney hotel.
The Scally Family, proprietors of the Great Southern Killarney, celebrated the reopening of the hotel on Saturday, January 27, with a Charity Vintage Afternoon party which saw 200 guests arrive in their finery to be a part of this historic day. All proceeds from the event were donated to Kerry Hospice Foundation.
On the day, CEO of the Hayfield Family Collection, Ettienne Van Vrede, praised the outstanding work undertaken by Kerry Hospice. He was on hand again on Wednesday at the new Palliative Care Unit to present the cheque.
