Kerry's Centre of Excellence will host a fundraiser for two very worthy local cancer charities.

There are very few families that haven’t been touched by the services offered by the Kerry Hospice Foundation and the Palliative Care Unit at UHK.

These are the two recipients of the novel Art Sale & Raffle that will take place next Friday (September 2) at the GAA Centre of Excellence in Currans from 6.30pm.

Like all charities they were badly hit over the last two years when fundraising activities were reduced to a minimum.

So now a number of local artists have come together to donate some of their work, free of charge, to be sold on the night where bargains are guaranteed!

The organisers have also kindly donated a number of very tempting prizes that will be won by those lucky enough to have their raffle ticket pulled out on the night.

"This hugely impressive venue is the training home of many of our hugely successful Kerry GAA teams so you will be walking in the footsteps of this year's Sam Maguire winners as well as many other stars of the Green and Gold," Padraig Harnett said.

"So come along to the GAA Centre of Excellence, have a look at the art and make an offer on what you like, chance your luck in the raffle, enjoy the refreshments on offer all in the knowledge that every cent raised on the night will go to the Kerry Hospice Foundation and Palliative Care Unit UHK."

A charity bake sale hosted by Killarney for Palestine was deemed a major success, with the event receiving an extra boost from the appearance of Moglaí Bap of the Belfast rap group Kneecap.

Moglaí Bap, who was in town for Kneecap’s two sold-out concerts at the Gleneagle Arena last Friday and Saturday, led a promotional walk that concluded at the bake sale.
The coffee morning and bake sale took place in the lounge and interior kitchen of the Blacksheep Hostel on New Street on Saturday. It was extended by an hour, running until 2:30 pm, to accommodate the arrival of the walk, which reached the hostel at approximately 1:50 pm. Kneecap is known to organise similar community runs or walks in every town and city where they perform.
Susan Larkin and Lisa O’Sullivan of Killarney for Palestine confirmed the success of the fundraiser. They noted that the appearance of Moglaí Bap “added an extra element of excitement to what was already a wonderful event”.
