Mercy Stars

On Friday September 27th 2019, the Mercy Hospital recognised individuals and organisations who had gone far and above in respect of fundraising and supporting the Mercy Hospital with their great work in the fight against cancer.

Last October Kinsale Community School organised a walk which raised 18,000 euros for this purpose. The school donated 6000 to Arc House, 6000 to Marymount and 6000 to the Mercy Hospital. This fundraising project was organised in the main by Deputy Principal Kathleen O’Brien. The inspiration behind targeting fundraising for cancer research and patient care, in particular the Mercy hospital was in recognition of the outstanding care that was provided to our late colleague Don O’Shea RIP.

Kinsale Community School won the prize for the best fundraising school at the awards ceremony. Pictured are Deputy Principal Ms Kathleen O’Brien accepting the award on behalf of the school. Also included are her colleagues Kevin Madigan, Shaun Holly, Fergal McCarthy (principal) and Thomas Clancy.
