Mounthawk Rotarians Raise Funds For Three Charities

Posted by

CIVIC-MINDED students from Mounthawk raised over €600 for charities and presented the cheques on Friday morning.

The Interact Club, part of the Junior Rotary Club took part in a bake sale and a fun day in the Square and raised the money for Recovery Haven, Care4Kids and the KSPCA.

“It’s events like this that keep us running,” said Harry McDaid of the KSPCA. “If it wasn’t for the generosity of the people of Kerry and the children in schools like this we wouldn’t be able to run the centre,” said Harry.

“This is the fifth year of the Mounthawk group,” said Cllr Grace O’Donnell, liaison officer for the Young Rotary Club, who accepted the cheques on behalf of Recovery Haven and Care4Kids.

“It’s all about community above self. We do a lot of  work with Tidy Towns, Enable Ireland and we’re going to Baile Mhuire later today,” said Grace.
