The Relay for Life committee has announced that an incredible €125,196.54 was raised for the Irish Cancer Society at this year’s event.
The charity group presented a cheque to Mark Mellett of The Irish Cancer Society at a team celebration evening in the Mount Errigal Hotel on Monday.
Relay for Life Donegal’s successful summer event brought the community together again to fundraise for vital research and services of the Irish Cancer Society. Money raised is spent locally, including support and care for cancer patients and their families and a clinical research programme at Letterkenny University Hospital.
The Relay for Life team has thanked every person who was involved in the 2019 event and made it a success, including team members, entertainers, volunteers and many more individuals and businesses.
The 2020 Relay for Life Donegal date has now been set for Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th of May 2020 and planning is already underway for next year.
