Today saw an end to a raffle I've had going on for the past 2 weeks with the prize being a food/drink hamper. It was placed in a local pub and has proven to be a successful method of raising funds, Prizes were kindly donated by local businesses in Kilkenny (including Dubray Books, Oldtown Bakery, O'Haras Pub).

Winner- Darragh Tynan

Last night I held a raffle at a local bingo hall which positively exceeded my expectations raising €203 (taking into account the low turnout because of the bad weather). Tickets cost €1 each and so sold 203 tickets.

Prizes were donated by many generous people and companies including 'Hasbro' - http://ow.ly/tiL3d !

This brings me to just off my target of €1000 and places me in an ideal position for further fundraising :)

Last Wednesday, I held a pongo night which overall raised €400. This has helped me reach my target as well as surpass it. Approx. 30 people were in attendance, the night was deemed successful through the raffle, food&beverages and cover charge.

A big thank you to everyone who got involved as well as those who donated prizes to the cause.
