Pakistani Golfers Ireland has raised €10,000 for Carrigallen National School in Co. Leitrim, supporting facilities and services for children with additional needs, according to Irish Golfer.
The funds came from the annual Pakistan Golf Cup, held at Powerscourt Golf Club in July, and were presented to the school on 23 October.
The donation will support a sensory room, private occupational therapy assessments, and the training and care of Vernon, the school’s therapy dog. The school has five autism classes, including an early intervention class for preschool children.
Tee-box sponsorships and individual contributions helped generate the funds, with support from Ireland’s Pakistani community and the Pakistan Ireland Business Council.
Acting principal Carmel Dockery welcomed the contribution, while Pakistani Golfers Ireland co-founder Dr Nasir Awan highlighted the tournament’s role in supporting local communities.
Eighty golfers from Ireland and the UK competed, with Hamza Raziq winning the trophy sponsored by Pakistan’s embassy in Dublin.
This was the tournament’s third year of charitable fundraising, continuing the group’s support for schools across Ireland.
