ONE of Kerry’s most talented actors and an internationally renowned singer are to join forces for a special night of entertainment to raise funds for Raheen National School and to purchase a defibrillator for the local community.
Killarney actor Donal Courtney will give a performance of his one-man show on the life of Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty while former Lord of the Dance lead singer and TV voice coach, Elaine Canning, will also perform on the night.
The one-off fundraiser on February 3 will be held in the Celtic Steps Arena at Killarney Racecourse and tickets are already on sale.
The 42-pupil Raheen National School hopes to install a defibrillator in the school that will be available for all of the local community.
Parents, Council Chairman, Eugene Bowler, said the whole community was looking forward to a wonderful night of entertainment.
“Donal and Elaine are supremely talented professionals. Our hope now is that we will pack the venue and raise funds for the school and for the defibrillator which, we know, will serve as a massive asset to the community and could save lives,” he said.
The local talent around east Kerry will not be left untapped and it’s expected that joining Elaine on the night will be the Glenflesk Male Choir, the Raheen School Choir and the Clonkeen Teen Choir.
Tickets for the event, which starts at 8pm, are priced at €10 and they are on sale at numerous outlets or by calling 087-2339725.
