The fundraising event brought supporters from Ireland and overseas together in aid of families with seriously ill children.
Ballyseede Castle has proudly presented a cheque for €41,117 to Ronald McDonald House Ireland following a special fundraising event held at the castle in support of the charity.
Ballyseede Castle donated the exclusive use of the castle and grounds, bringing together supporters from Ireland and across the globe to raise vital funds for families with seriously ill children.
A particularly moving moment during the event was the attendance of Kai and his family, who shared their personal experience of Ronald McDonald House Ireland and the support they received during a challenging period in their lives. Their story served as a powerful reminder of the impact the charity has on families when they need it most.
The fundraising effort was supported by guests, donors and corporate partners, including CCL Label, helping to generate an outstanding €41,117 for Ronald McDonald House Ireland.
Marnie Corscadden, Ballyseede Castle, said:
“When we were approached about supporting Ronald McDonald House Ireland, there was never any hesitation. Family is at the heart of Ballyseede Castle, and we were honoured to open our doors and donate the castle for such a worthwhile cause.”
“Meeting Kai and his family and hearing their story brought home the importance of the work carried out by Ronald McDonald House Ireland every day. We are delighted that the event raised such a significant amount and would like to thank everyone who attended, donated and supported the fundraiser, particularly CCL Label and all those who travelled from near and far to be part of it.”
Joe Kenny, CEO of Ronald McDonald House Ireland, said:
“We are incredibly grateful to Ballyseede Castle, and everyone involved in making this remarkable initiative such a success. Raising €41,117 is an outstanding achievement, but what makes this support even more meaningful is the connection behind it.
Having Kai and his family on the day to share their experience brought home the real impact of Ronald McDonald House Ireland and the difference that generosity like this makes to families facing some of the toughest times of their lives.”
“On behalf of all the families we support, thank you to the Ballyseede team, CCL Label and everyone around the world who contributed to this fantastic fundraising effort.”
Ronald McDonald House Ireland provides accommodation and support to families whose children are receiving treatment in hospital, ensuring they can remain close to their child during some of the most difficult times imaginable.
The €41,117 raised will help the charity continue providing this vital support to families from across Ireland.
