“We are absolutely thrilled with the response to this campaign,” said Brian Murphy, Group Manager at Maple. “€3,000 raised in such a short time is a testament to the generosity of Donegal people and the dedication of our staff and customers. Community is at the heart of everything we do at Maple, and we’re so proud that we could be part of giving back to a cause that matters to so many families in our communities.”

“This donation from Maple Group will make a real and immediate difference,” said Patricia Doherty for Cancer Care West Donegal. “Our centre in Letterkenny is seeing more people reach out for support than ever before. Contributions like this allow us to continue offering free care, counselling, and guidance for people at one of the most challenging times in their lives. What makes this extra special is that it has come from local businesses and local people standing together for Donegal families.”

For Arthur McMahon, Managing Director of Maple Group, this fundraiser was about doing something in our communities in a meaningful way: “Cancer touches so many lives. This fund raiser was about giving something back to the community that has always supported us. To present this cheque to Cancer Care West Donegal on behalf of our staff and customers is an incredibly proud moment for us.”
