Last chance to enter car draw in aid of Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation

ENTRIES for Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation’s car draw, in association with Mulroy’s Londis, Castlebar, will close this Friday, June 30, at 6 p.m.

The winner of the car, worth in the region of €45,000, will be selected in a live draw on Facebook on Friday night at 9 p.m.

To celebrate both turning 30 this year, Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation and Mulroy’s Londis have a Hyundai Kona Electric is up for grabs after Alan Mulroy, proprietor of Mulroy's Londis Service Station, Moneen Roundabout in Castlebar, donated the car to Mayo Roscommon Hospice. He won the car at last year’s annual BWG Foods Trade Show.

CEO of Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation, Martina Jennings, said: “We’ve had a huge number of entries to date but there’s still time to enter. We are so grateful to Alan Mulroy for his generosity. We cannot thank him enough for donating this car to the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation.

“All of the funds raised in the draw will make a huge difference to our patients, who have life limiting illnesses, ensuring we provide the best facilities possible to both them and their families. It’s fantastic to have two Hospices now up and running but we do need continued support to keep them going.”

Said Alan Mulroy: “My Londis store in Castlebar and the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation have been in existence since 1993 so I decided there was no better way to help Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation in their 30th year than by donating the car to them in order to help spearhead their major fundraising events.

“I’m very aware of the brilliant work done by the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation and I am delighted that the car will raise much needed funds for palliative care services in both the Mayo and Roscommon communities. I’d ask that everyone buys a ticket to support them.”

All entries into the draw will go towards funding, supporting and developing palliative care services, both in Mayo and Roscommon Hospices as well as their local communities.

The new Hyundai Kona Electric features an updated design, the very latest smart tech - and drives up to 484 km range on a single charge.

Everyone from all over the country is invited to enter the draw. One ticket is €20, three tickets are €50, and six tickets are €100. They can be purchased now from https://winacar.hospice.ie/ , in any of the 12 Mayo Roscommon Hospice shops and also in Mulroy’s Londis, Castlebar.

Entries must be over 18.
