Cliffs fundraiser to raise funds and 'local awareness' for three Clare charities

MUCH needed funds will be raised for three County Clare organisations during a cfharity fun day at the Cliffs of Moher Experience.

Representatives of Sláinte an Chláir, the voluntary cancer support centre, Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind (IGDB) Clare Branch and Brothers of Charity Services Clare travelled to the world-famous visitor attraction this Wednesday for the announcement of the fundraising event, due to take place on Saturday, May 27.

The event itself will feature live music and dancing, singing, face painting and spot prizes. The charities also will be in attendance on the day to meet and speak with members of the Clare public about the vital services they provide.

"The upcoming fundraiser is as much as about raising local awareness of the three charities concerned as it is about generating funds to help them to deliver and invest in their services throughout Clare," explained Geraldine Enright, Director of Cliffs of Moher Experience. 

She continued, "The Cliffs of Moher Experience Charity of the Year programme, which was first initiated by staff in 2020, is part of the ongoing support and social responsibility activities that help the Cliffs of Moher Experience build bridges with the local community."

"We are encouraging people from across Clare to come along on Saturday May 27th to meet with some of the those delivering a range of vitally important services in communities throughout our county, as well as enjoy the fun activities taking place throughout the site,” added Ms. Enright.

Clare residents are invited to pre-book complimentary admission for the day by using the promo code ‘charityday23' on the www.cliffsofmoher.ie website.

Leonard Cleary, Director of Rural Development and West Clare MD, Clare County Council, commented, Charity service providers have been impacted in recent years by a substantial decrease in fundraising activity which emphasises the even greater importance that events such as the upcoming Charity Fun Day are well supported."
