Picture special: Teachers get pie-faced after Crana College 1for1@1 challenge!

Students and teachers at Crana College Buncrana had an action-packed (and pie-packed!) day of fundraising for Relay for Life this week. 

The school took on the 1for1@1 Schools Challenge with a unique twist for the losers. With 560 students at the college, you can imagine the atmosphere when the Teachers took on the Students in a football match as their challenge.

The losers, as agreed prior to the game, got ‘pie’ on their faces and as you can see from the photos they certainly did.

Thanks very much to everyone involved and to Mr. Joe Ward who organised the event.  The team at Relay for Life Donegal are most grateful for your support.  The Schools Challenge will run until Friday 19^th. May- if you are not on our list of 37 schools already signed up and you would like to take part- please send us a short e-mail with your school’s name and a contact number so that we can  add your school’s name to our list here on Donegal Daily.   Send your e mail to relayforlifedonegal@gmail.com.

What’s the challenge?

From now until Friday, May 19^th, we are asking schools to pick one challenge and on their chosen day to carry it out at one-o-clock. Relay for Life Donegal are doing this fun challenge in association with Donegal Daily to raise vital funds for cancer survivors.

Every student takes one euro into the school (hence the name 1for1@1) Every single euro raised for Relay for Life this year goes directly to the extensive research programme for cancer survivors presently ongoing at Letterkenny University Hospital.

Unfortunately, cancer does affect every family and we are asking ‘’ALL SCHOOLS’’ to please consider taking part as every euro is so important to us.

Donegal Daily

We at Donegal Daily have joined forces with the Relay for Life Donegal committee to promote the Schools Challenge for this most worthy of causes.

We are asking schools to do a one minute video of your challenge and send it to relayforlifedonegal@gmail.com.

As you can appreciate, it would be impossible for us to show all videos sent in but we will put up a selection of them over the next two weeks. If you can also send a photo of the students taking part in their challenge to the same address we will put that photograph up for viewing.

Remember that on the weekend of Relay for  Life Donegal  27^th/28^th May at Letterkenny LYIT, all of the videos sent in will be shown on the ‘Big Screen’. So keep in touch with Donegal Daily and with the Relay for Life Donegal facebook page during the challenge!
