Cyril Killeen, Centre Manager of Dóchas Midwest Autism Support, said the support will make a “real difference” to the charity.
Cyril said, “The support received through the Rotary Golf Classic will make a real difference to the children, young people and families we support across the Mid-West. As a largely self-funded organisation, community fundraising initiatives like this are essential to sustain and grow our services.

“With over 450 children and young people engaging with Dóchas programmes each week, these funds will support opportunities that promote inclusion, wellbeing, confidence and meaningful participation in community life. We are extremely grateful to Limerick Central Rotary Club and everyone who supported this year’s event”.
Noel White, Vice-Chairman of the Butterfly Club, said, “A sincere thank you to the Rotary Club for supporting our club and the families that receive respite. Without the financial support from organisations like Rotary, we would not be able to support the families and their special children”.
