Clare FM Radio Auction Raises Record Amount For St. Clare's Special School

A record €33,000 has been raised for an Ennis special school through Clare FM's annual radio charity auction. All proceeds will go to St Clare's School, which caters for children aged four to 18 with learning disabilities. The auction has been conducted in partnership with the Ennis Lions Club which is a non-profit voluntary service organisation established in 1976. This year's auction featured a record 279 prizes, ranging from a Miword web design and development package retailing at €2,500 to a €12 voucher for a QiGong Selfheal class. Since the 5th of October, people from County Clare and beyond have been bidding on various items in the hope of getting a bargain, while giving to a deserving cause. The total amount raised in this year's auction was €33,000 which is higher than the figure for any of the previous three years when the auction was held.
