Ellen Tuffy, Chairperson of Down Syndrome Limerick said, “We are so honoured and grateful to have been selected as this year’s beneficiary for the inaugural Don Reddan Annual Charity Golf Classic.

“Thanks to Ger Lynch and all at Limerick Central Rotary for organising such a wonderful day which not only raised an amazing amount of money for us but gave us the opportunity to talk about the work that we do and the importance of the charity to our children.

“This money will be put to great use including Speech and Language Therapy, as well as providing social activities such as youth club and drama classes for our teen and adult members. A huge thanks also to all the sponsors and golfers who supported the event. It was a really memorable day”.
