Massive cheque presented by Tullamore students to hospice building fund

Tullamore College Transition Years took part in a Coast to Coast Tandem Relay which raised a whopping €22,000 for the Midlands Hospice Building Fund.

The Transition Year students and the staff of Tullamore College were very proud to present a cheque for €22,070 to Professor Humphrey O’Connor, Chair of the Hospice Committee recently.

Professor O’Connor praised the great achievement and commended the students both for their hard work and their impressive comportment. The Principal, Mr Edward McEvoy said: "We are very grateful to our sponsors, families, past pupils and members of the public whose generous donations helped us raise more than double our target of €10,000 for this vital cause."
