Over €2,000 raised at ‘Rushe to Raise’ cinema day – Picture Special

Christmas cheer and goodwill were the perfect mix at the ‘Rushe to Raise’ charity cinema day at Century Complex Letterkenny on Sunday afternoon. The annual movie fundraiser was another great success for organisers Emmet and Maria Rushe, with a large number of families turning out to enjoy a Christmas classic for a great cause. Now in its third year, #RusheToRaise 2019 brought The Grinch Movie back to the big screen for one day only. The event raised over €2,000 and all proceeds will be donated to two vital local funds – the Donegal Hospice and the Children’s Ward at Letterkenny University Hospital.

Mr Grinch himself headed to the movies to welcome guests young and old to Century Cinema – and to cause a fair amount of mischief! Despite his dislike of Christmas, cinemagoers kept the festive feeling strong by wearing their best Christmas jumpers, accessories and enjoying treats provided by Maria and Emmet.

The film day was another wonderful family occasion for children and adults, and is well on its way to becoming a yearly tradition for many. Emmet and Maria would like to say a huge thank you to Century Letterkenny for all their support as always and also to Noel O Donnell and Co for sponsoring The Grinch.
