ST Brendan’s Basketball Club in Tralee showed its generous side when it donated the proceeds of recent fundraisers to three great causes.

St. Brendan’s Basketball Club celebrates 30 years since its foundation in 1994 this year and is busy planning a social event in early February and a number of tournaments scheduled for the months of February, March and April to mark this major milestone.

Over the Christmas break the club was busy fundraising with two bag packing days at Dunnes Stores, The Horan Centre. In addition they had a very successful Christmas Draw with €3,000 of the funds raised going to three separate charity organisations.
