'We'd like to thank all the local businesses in LK that sponsored prizes - we had over 40 to raffle,' Claire Moore said. 'And a big thanks to everyone who attended on the night and bought tickets online, it was a fantastic response'

The annual Karaoke Christmas Jumper Party at the Swilly Inn in Letterkenny has raised €7,300.

Monies raised from the event are for the Greg Fitzgerald Recovery Fund. Letterkenny native Greg suffered a stroke in March of last year and is continuing his recovery.

The event has been running since 2009 and will be hosted by Adam Moore with DJ Dano - Daniel McGarrigle - who will provide the entertainment, with Adam’s sister Claire, Stephen McConnell, Louise Toner, Emmet Toner and Liz Crealey all part of the committee.

“We'd like to thank all the local businesses in LK that sponsored prizes - we had over 40 to raffle,” Claire Moore said. “And a big thanks to everyone who attended on the night and bought tickets online, it was a fantastic response and a big part of that was because it was for Greg!”
