Hospice Sunflower Fun Day June 2024
Hospice Sunflower Days is one of Ireland’s longest established charity fundraisers, and raises up to €1 million each year for hospice services nationwide. Our volunteers at Kerry Hospice will return to the streets once again to raise funds on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th June 2024, but this year we have an exciting new addition to the campaign.
We are calling on primary schools to support Kerry Hospice by participating in a “Sunflower Fun Day” in June 2024.
