THE Kerry Hospice Foundation has been announced as one of the GAA’s Official Charities for the year ahead.
Five charities from around the country and representing a range of different causes were selected by the Association to be charity partners for this year.
The charities were unveiled at a special photo call at Croke Park last week. Kerry Hospice is joined by Mayo/Roscommon Hospice Foundation, Cavan/Monaghan Palliative Care Fund, Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation and Concern Worldwide.

Each of the designated charities will receive a €20,000 donation from the GAA. This is part of an on-going GAA initiative stretching back to 2010 that has seen the GAA select a number of specific charitable organisations and foundations each year in a bid to assist them in raising awareness about their work and also champion them in their fund-raising efforts throughout the coming year.
