Firies resident and motorcycle enthusiast Sean Collins has launched a new charity raffle, with an electric bike as the top prize.

All proceeds from the draw will go directly to the Dunmanway Cancer Day Care Unit at Cork University Hospital (CUH).
Sean is a regular fundraiser for cancer services; last March, he organised a successful motorcycle run that raised €2,400 for the same unit. This year, he has shifted focus to an electric bike raffle to continue his support for the facility.
The draw is scheduled to take place on Sunday, 7 June, at Henderson’s Bar in Firies. For those unable to attend in person, the event will be broadcast live on the Henderson’s Bar Facebook page.
Tickets are priced at €10 each and are currently available in various shops throughout Killarney and the surrounding areas. The prize was made possible through the support of O’Sullivan’s Cycles and KC Print Ltd in Killarney.
For any enquiries regarding tickets or the draw, Sean Collins can be contacted directly on 087 4436650.
