Every school counts! 40th Donegal school joins 1for1@1 Challenge

Welcome Scoil Mhuire, Stranorlar! The primary school is now the 40th name to be added to the all-important list of schools pledging for the Relay for Life Donegal Schools 1for1@1 Challenge.

We have reached a new milestone just before the final week of the Schools Challenge. The challenge closes on May 19th – are there 10 more schools out there who could help us hit that magical 50 number taking part?

What does it involve? We are asking schools from Malin Head to Bundoran and from Lifford to Arranmore Island to support Relay for Life by choosing a day and at one o’clock to carry out your challenge and when completed we ask you to hand in one euro per child to the school- hence the name 1@1for 1!

We’ve seen a Teachers v Students Football match at Crana College, Dancing from St Safan’s and 1km Walks at Illistrin NS, and many many more. What one thing can you do? 

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!
