Clare FM’s Maire Moynahan explained how Clare FM is encouraging local community groups of all shapes and sizes to register a fundraising event with the station. Clare FM will publicise the events for free.
Clare FM’s 50 Cent Appeal is a brand new initiative to raise funds for four local charities ahead of the Christmas period. The charities are; Clarecare, Clare Haven, Cahercalla Hospice and St. Vincent de Paul. Clare FM will host numerous “50 Cent Events” throughout the coming months to raise awareness of the work these charities do – and to help raise as much money as possible. We are also encouraging local /community groups, schools, businesses and clubs to get on board and host their own events in aid of Clare FM’s 50 Cent Appeal. All interested groups (or individuals) can register their event with Clare FM and we will publicise it free of charge!
