Scoil Naomh Pádraig, Knocknasna held a “Wacky Pink Day” in aid of the Mid Western Cancer Foundation. All pupils, parents and grandparents, along with members of the local community, were invited to attend. The day entailed a 5km walk around the vicinity of the school escorted by local agricultural contractors “Kennelly’s” with some pink ice-cream and pink treats afterwards. Over €800 was raised and it will go towards improving services for oncology patients in the University Hospital, Limerick. Certificates were given to pupils, parents and Margaret Broderick (long serving grandparent of the school) for the wackiest outfits! Huge thanks to Twohig’s SuperValu, Eurosaver and O’Donoghue’s Spar for sponsoring all the ice-cream, goodies and decorations. Sincere thanks to everyone who donated so generously and a special word of thanks to Maria Woulfe for leading the organisation of this successful event. A great day was had by all.
