More than just a golf day: Ronald McDonald charity event raises €11,500

The organisers of the recent charity golf classic at Dunfanaghy Golf Club, held to raise funds for Ronald McDonald House, have offered a sincere thanks to everyone who helped make it such a success.

The event, held on Friday, August 14, raised an amazing €11,500.

From early morning until the evening, there was a fantastic buzz around the clubhouse, with golfers, supporters and friends coming together to support such a special cause.

Louise and Joanne were there throughout the day representing Ronald McDonald House Ireland and meeting all the wonderful golfers and supporters who came along.

Highland Radio’s David James Show broadcast live from the clubhouse, adding even more atmosphere to what was already a brilliant day!

“A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success,” a spokesperson for the organising committee said.

“ There are simply too many people to name individually but a very special mention must go to Yahor, Lucas, Leah and Mary for all their incredible support, and to Club President Sam, who worked quietly away behind the scenes throughout the event.

“A massive thank you to our gold sponsors. These events simply would not be possible without the generosity and support of our sponsors, so we are incredibly grateful to them 

“And, of course, a huge thank you to the wonderful people of Donegal for once again getting behind this very special event. 

A special thank you also goes to the junior golfers from Letterkenny and Dunfanaghy, who took part in a fun scramble the evening before the main event. Thanks to Fergal and Ian for helping make that happen.

“And thank you to Martin Anderson and Café Sonder, and Martin Hilferty and Ronhill, for providing the delicious treats and helping us host a wonderful coffee morning the day before.

“We also want to say a huge thank you to all the local businesses and supporters who generously donated raffle prizes, and to everyone who bought raffle tickets and helped us raise even more on the day.”

Every euro raised at the golf day and the other events will help Ronald McDonald House Ireland continue providing a home away from home for families who have a seriously ill child receiving treatment in hospital.
