"We wish to extend our sincere thanks to all the management and staff at Abbeyleix House & Farm. This donation is greatly appreciated and will go along way towards allowing LOFFA to continue to support over 176 families in the Laois/Offaly area," LOFFA finished.
John Collison, multi-billionaire and owner of Abbeyleix House and Farm, opened the property to the public for a Family Fun Day on Sunday June 23.
The Fun Day was accompanied by a Trail Run and an airshow. The event was held as a fundraiser for local charities, including Abbeyleix and District Lions Club, Laois Offaly Families for Autism (LOFFA) and the Order of Malta for Ambulance Equipment. The day saw fun activities and live music enjoyed by all.
