Staff and volunteers at one Kerry charity will be kitted out in new clothing thanks to the generous donation of a Glenflesk couple.
On Tuesday Donie Moynihan presented cancer support charity Recovery Haven Kerry with €4,461 ($5000) in funding for a new range of branded clothing for the staff and fundraising team.
Donie organised the donation through his involvement with the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) Association – the world’s premier association of financial professionals.
Donie has been a huge supporter of Recovery Haven for several years, supporting the charity's work and helping with fundraising events across the county. His latest contribution sees the Glenflesk man provide funding for a brand new range of exclusive custom t-shirts, fleeces and weather proof jackets for the team.
Manager Siobhan MacSweeney said that the charity was extremely grateful to Donie for his continued support of Recovery Haven, not least in providing this latest funding for a new-look fundraising clothing range.
“Donie’s contribution through the MDRT meant that we were able to purchase a complete new range of clothing for our team, which is vital in helping us continue to promote our charity at events and photocalls right across the county," she said.
"Updating our range of branded clothing products is quite a costly exercise, so we are indebted to Donie for choosing Recovery Haven as a beneficiary of the MDRT funding. Initially, this clothing was to coincide with marking our 10th anniversary year for 2020 but that, along with many of our fundraising events, have been curtailed due to the pandemic. However, in a time of worry about virus transmission and additional cleaning required, the clothes have been used by the staff and volunteers daily as Recovery Haven has continued to deliver services. Thanks to Donie and all at MDRT for this great donation."
