The Limerick Central Rotary Club Remembrance Tree, hosted in partnership with the Crescent Shopping Centre, has raised €8,000 in aid of four charity partners – Down Syndrome Limerick, Limerick Mental Health Association, Doras, and St. Munchin’s Community Centre.

Located in the Crescent Shopping Centre throughout December, the Remembrance Tree offered people an opportunity to remember a loved one who had passed or could not be home for Christmas. A cheque presentation took place on 31st January at the Limerick Strand Hotel.

Ger Lynch, President of Limerick Central Rotary Club, commented, “We were overwhelmed by the support for our inaugural Remembrance Tree, which provided an opportunity for people to remember a loved one who has passed on or was unable to be home for Christmas.
