DROMOLAND Golf Club members have helped to raise more than €6,000 for Cahercalla Community Care in Ennis.

The Anderson Foundation Golf Tournament ran over the August Bank Holiday, with members and guests raising €3,225 over the weekend. This funding was generously matched by the Anderson Charitable Foundation, which was recently founded by Dromoland Golf Club members Richard & Jacqui Anderson.

The Andersons have been supporting Cahercalla for more than 20 years via golf tournaments at the club. This year the event organisers, Director of Golf Eamon O’Donnell, Competitions Secretary Con Ryan, and Honorary Secretary Brian Kelly extended the competition over three days and invited members to bring guests at a reduced rate to maximise fundraising efforts for Cahercalla.
Mr Kelly told The Clare Echo that members have been “extremely generous” in their fundraising efforts, “Over three days we trebled what we’d usually raise, taking in more than €3,200 for Cahercalla, and Jacqui and Richard said they would match it.”

The Anderson Foundation Cup was won by Brian Arthur and Trish O’Brien.

“Our Foundation has been pleased to support Cahercalla Community Care Hospital for the past twenty years, and we look forward to continuing our association with this worthy charitable organisation for the foreseeable future.”
