Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation to raffle car this September
Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation, in association with J. Keane & Sons Ltd in Roscommon, will raffle a car this September. The Volkswagen Polo Life is worth in the region of €30,000.
All entries into the draw will go towards funding, supporting and developing palliative care services in both Mayo and Roscommon Hospices as well as their local communities.
Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation provides palliative care services to people with life-limiting illnesses and their families in Mayo and Roscommon. Over the past 31 years, the palliative care teams have assisted in the care of over 20,000 patients and their families.
Both Mayo Hospice and Roscommon Hospice were developed and paid for by fundraised income (a combined €16.3 million), and are a result of the great support received from the people of Mayo and Roscommon.
The CEO of Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation, Martina Jennings, commented: “Our 2023 car draw was hugely popular, raising a total of over €150,000 for Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation. We are so grateful to J. Keane & Sons Ltd in Roscommon for partnering with us to give away a beautiful Volkswagen Polo Life.
“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.
“We have our two hospices now up and running but we do need continued support to keep them going as well as continuing to fund our community palliative care service and implement our plans for the future. We are committed to the continuation of funding, developing and providing services in the west of Ireland for all patients with life-limiting illnesses.”
The chairperson of Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation, Mike Smith, added: “We are thrilled to announce our second car draw which not only offers participants to drive away in a brand new car, but you are contributing to Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation and supporting those living with life-limiting illnesses, whether they are in a hospice or receiving support in their homes.”
John Keane of J. Keane & Sons Ltd stated: “We are delighted to work in partnership with Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation. We hope everyone will purchase a ticket to support the vital services of the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation. They are so important to our local community.”
