THE proceeds of two separate fundraisers, held by a company and a local club, were handed over to Pieta House on Monday.
Con O’Connor from the Moyderwell-based suicide prevention and counselling centre was presented with cheques totalling €2,100 by Borg Warner and the Tralee Flower and Garden Club.
Staff from Borg Warner in Monavalley Industrial Estate had a ‘Christmas Dress-Up’ day on December 20 where they gave out holiday days, vouchers and more while employees made a donation and eventually raised €1,700.
