Horgan family thank people of Killarney for generosity
T
The Horgan family have expressed their gratitude to everyone who bought tickets for their raffle in aid of My Canine Companion. Shane and Deirdre organised the raffle when the charity provided them with Bosco, an autism service dog who has become great friends with their son Fionn, who is autistic, and Fionn’s older brother Brian.
“We would like to thank all the businesses/organisations who donated prizes for the raffle,” Shane said. “We are extremely grateful for the great support that we have received from the local community. We live in a beautiful part of the world but it’s the people of Killarney’s generosity and kindness that make this town so special. Bosco has made a big impact in our lives and the people of Killarney have also been very curious about Bosco.
“As a result of the article in the Killarney Advertiser, we were nominated to receive the the proceeds of the No Name Disco that was held at the end of May. We would like to thank Amanda Fleming who recently presented us with the cheque.
“We would also like to thank Pat Sheehan and Niall Dennehy who climbed the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales in aid of My Canine Companion (see article below).

Members of the Killarney Soroptimist Society visited the Rockmount Care Centre on Wednesday, to present a cheque for €3000 to Nurse Manager Mary Hussey.
The significant sum was raised during the society’s successful annual pancake morning held on Shrove Tuesday at the Killarney Avenue Hotel.
Rockmount Care Centre provides essential support as a dedicated day care facility for individuals living with Dementia and Alzheimer’s, serving many clients and families from the Killarney area.
These funds arrive at a vital time, as they are earmarked for the centre’s new sensory garden project, which is currently in the design phase.
Pictured at the presentation are Soroptimists members handing over the proceeds to Mary Hussey. The society extended their thanks to the Killarney Avenue Hotel and all those who supported the fundraiser to help make this donation possible.
