An amazing €24,000 has been raised for three charities following a charity birthday barn dance, at McKnight Farm in Glenmaquin.
The money raised has been split evenly between three charities – with the Glenmaquin National School, the Buddy Bear Trust, and the North West Cancer Centre each getting €8,000 in vital funds.
The barn dance took place back in June, with the donations being made to the respective charities at the weekend!
You can see some of the pictures as the cheques were handed over to their respective charities here:
