Glenflesk and Kilcummin GAA Clubs have announced KWD as the main sponsor for its upcoming fundraiser, ‘A Night at the OsKaRs’.

The event will take place on December 7 in the INEC.

This is not the first time that the local re-cycling company have got behind the two clubs, as they were also the main sponsor when the OsKaR fundraiser was first tool place in 2018.

On that occasion it was a huge success, attracting a capacity crowd to the INEC and raising much needed funds for both clubs.

This year’s event promises to be bigger and better, with over a hundred actors signed up to act out eight films on the night.

“It’s great to be supporting a local event, the clubs did such a good job five years ago that we are proud to be part of it again,” said KWD’s Sean Murphy.

The sponsorship deal was officially launched last week in the Killarney Heights Hotel.

“We are extremely grateful for KWD’s generous support which will play a pivotal role in the success of the event,” says Niamh Dwyer of Kilcummin GAA.

Bringing together the two clubs and parishes has generated huge interest in the event, with lots of new people taking part this time around.

Rehearsals start on September 6 with filming taking place in early October.

“There is a real buzz around the place and actors can’t wait to get started,” said Derry Healy of Glenflesk GAA, “Having a company like KWD supporting us has given us a massive boost.”
