Dogs night to raise funds

A FOUNDATION that provides a wide range of services for 280 children and adults with special needs on both sides of the Cork-Limerick border will go to the dogs in Cork on Thursday night to raise funds.

St Joseph’s Foundation in Charleville has raised over €420,000 from an annual greyhound benefit meeting at Curraheen Park since 1988.

Proceeds went towards building the Comhar Centre in Charleville for several years. For the past six years, the funds have paid running costs of the centre, which provides respite care for children with special needs.
