Up to 100 dug deep and donated to charity on Friday morning last week at a coffee morning in the town.
All in aid of Kerry Mountain Rescue, the event was organised by Permanent TSB, with goodies supplied on the day by Reidy’s and the Continental Bakery in Killarney.
And everyone who called, both customers and non-customers, gave very generously on the day, explained Niamh O’Carroll, Business Development Officer with Permanent TSB.
“The coffee morning was great success,” Niamh told the Killarney Advertiser.
“We raised €520.53. There was a great buzz in the branch on the day with members of the Mountain Rescue also in attendance. Some customers also commented on how they had previous experiences being rescued and were very thankful to Kerry Mountain Rescue.”
She explained that the ethos of Permanent TSB is to support local charities within the community.
“We picked the Kerry Mountain Rescue as we found it to be an extremely worthy cause and also it’s a charity that is local to Killarney. They play an important part in the local community. Coffee mornings are something that we do regularly between different charities. The last charity event we had was for the Kerry Hospice Foundation. We try and keep to local charities if we can.”
