Our Ladies Lunch Fundraiser held in Elm Park earlier this month was a great success, we were delighted with the day and are already planning next years...

We raised €19k from the lunch (including the raffle on the day) which will go directly towards resurfacing our sports pitch this summer.   We still have a long way to go to reach our fundraising target of €150k and therefore very much need help and support on this.

We will be launching our Grand Raffle on Wednesday the 8th of May which will be open to the whole school and wider community to purchase tickets. We have some really great prizes (and something for all ages) so we hope you will get behind this initiative by helping us maximise ticket sales.

Tickets will cost €20 for one ticket, €50 for five tickets and €100 for 20 tickets, details on how to purchase tickets and a list of prizes will be released next week.

If you are able to contribute a grand raffle prize or in a position to make a donation directly to the school, please contact us at fundraising@loretofoxrock.ie

A note on donations:

All donations are very much welcome. The school can claim tax back on any donations of €250 or more from each individual donor which means we receive an additional 45% (at no extra cost to you). So €250 donation amounts to €362 for the school.

Thanks very much, 

Naoisha Maher, Head of Finance
