CARD Factory Letterkenny has generously raised over €1,800 for the Children’s ambulance service, BUMBLEance.
Store manager Tina and staff came together to sell raffle tickets for two large hampers and with customers donating so generously, just over €1,800 was raised for the charity.
The fundraiser was organised in collaboration with local woman Orla Neely who will host her 40th birthday in aid of BUMBLEance.
Orla’s birthday celebrations will be held in The Silver Tassie on Saturday, July 25 with some top names from the world of entertainment appearing including Claudia Buckley, David James and May McFetridge. There’s no charge to get in, and all donations on the night will be given to BUMBLEance.
A special big Massey draw will also be taking place on the night.
The 2nd prize winner, Yvonne Smith.
Orla and her family invite you to join them for a night of fun, laughter and music, with the night getting underway at 8pm. You can contact Orla at 0861051560.
The BUMBLEance charity is Ireland’s only dedicated children’s ambulance service. They provide families with free transport to medical appointments ensuring safe travel, no parking fees and a stress free journey. The unique organisation seeks to make the child’s journey as fun and caring as possible.
The charity relies heavily on donations to continue their vital services. With 15 vehicles in their fleet, the group made 2,122 journeys in 2025.
Card Factory’s donation – and Orla’s charity birthday night – will result in many more kilometers travelled. With Donegal being in BUMBLEance’s top five busiest counties, the money will certainly be valued by the local community.
