A special Card Drive was organised at the start of 2020 to raise funds for Comfort for Chemo in memory of our club member Johnny Batt Cronin. Despite only some of the early rounds going ahead before Covid restrictions paused the event, an incredible total of €4,040 was raised for this very worthy cause.

As the competition kept getting delayed, the decision was made recently with a heavy heart to cancel the event and to go ahead and present the money raised up to now to Comfort for Chemo.

A draw for spot prizes for teams that had entered the competition took place last week, and the cheque presentation was made at the Spa clubhouse last night to Mary Fitzgerald (Comfort for Chemo) by the Cronin family and members of the organising committee.

The committee have expressed their thanks to everyone who took part, helped out, organised, donated and to the local people and the businesses that supported the event - Killarney Credit Union, Skellig Hotel Dingle, Kennelly's Pharmacy, Hegarty's Spar Muckross Rd, Daly's Supervalu, Killarney Oil, O'Leary's Electrical, Paul Herlihy Contractor, Liam Chute, Killarney Oaks Hotel and Bowler's Centra, Tralee Rd, Great Southern Hotel and Killarney Carpets & Furniture Centre.

Well done to everyone involved.
