Don Reddan 2025 Charity Golf Classic raises vital funds for local charities
The annual Don Reddan 2025 Charity Golf Classic, hosted by the Limerick Central Rotary Club on Friday, May 9th in Limerick Golf Club, has raised €10,000 in aid of Down Syndrome Limerick and Milford Care Centre.
“ Our charities this year are Down Syndrome Limerick and Milford Care Centre,” said Gerard Lynch, President of Limerick Central Rotary Club, adding, “We’re delighted to work with those charities because they actually need all the funding they can get to help people in the community and the people of Limerick. It is great to be able to support these charities, and it was great to do it at Limerick Golf Club. We received huge support for our golf classic again this year, which raises vital funds to support local and national charities. Our sincere thanks to our event sponsors, Lyons Motor Group and Don Reddan Insurances, to all those who generously sponsored tee-boxes and raffle prizes, and to all the teams who played on the day. We are also very grateful to Deputy Richard O’Donoghue, Councillor Frankie Daly and Aaron Gillane for lending their support to this year’s event”.

The winning team, sponsored by Limerick Travel, was made up of Paul O’Connell, Peter Brazil, Shane O’Donoghue and Bryan O’Connell.
A cheque presentation was made to Down Syndrome Limerick and Milford Care Centre in the Limerick Strand Hotel on 13th June.
Michelle Coughlan, chairperson of Down Syndrome Limerick, expressed deep gratitude, saying, “ We don’t receive any funding from the government, so we rely on fundraising events like this. We rely on generous donations from the public, and we rely on sponsorship in order for us to make the dreams of our members come true and for them to be able to reach their fullest potential.”
Kieran Dore, Head of Finance at Milford Care Centre, echoed Ms Coughlan’s sentiment, saying, “ We’re so delighted in Milford Care Centre to accept any proceeds and all donations that this Golf Classic has generated. All proceeds go towards the services that Milford Care Centre provides in the Midwest region. We are extremely delighted with all the fundraising events that happen. That the public arranged for this particular event is really going towards all the services we provide, and we want to thank everybody involved in this Golf Classic.”
Rotary brings together a global network of volunteer leaders dedicated to tackling the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges. Their work improves lives at both the local and international levels, from helping those in need in their own communities to working toward a polio-free world.
