Lifting Limerick Annual Golf Event in aid of Clionas Foundation

Lifting Limerick Annual Golf Event takes place at Castletroy Golf Club on Thursday 16 and Friday 17 June 2016. Lifting Limerick is an association of like-minded supporters of Limerick hurling who have come together to help re-invigorate interest in Limerick hurling through the provision of a platform over a sustained period that will deliver the success that Limerick hurling deserves. This is Lifting Limerick’s sixth year of its initiative.

Each year Lifting Limerick nominates a locally based charity to benefit from various fundraising events that they hold.  This year Lifting Limerick is aiming to raise €10,000 for Cliona’s Foundation through their Hole in One challenge and other activities.

Cliona’s Foundation provides financial assistance for families with children who have a life limiting illness for non-medical expenses. Such expenses would include travel, accommodation, car parking fees, childcare care costs, specialised equipment – the “ hidden costs” associated with the care and treatment of a  child over a prolonged period of time.

Cliona’s Foundation is the only charity providing this assistance across all life limiting conditions and up to the age of 16 years and since its launch in 2007 has supported more than 310 families all over Ireland and raised in excess of €1m.
