Cork community thrills to the sight & sounds of vintage cars at fundraising run
Participants far and wide enjoyed a leisurely drive through lush countryside where meticulously-restored vehicles became evident against panoramic views. That allowed a lively atmosphere, filled with camaraderie and shared stories of a terrific outing.
Beneficiary of the staging was the Irish Wheelchair Association (IWA) that provides support to people with physical disabilities, offering a wide range of services, including assisted living, community centers, accessible transport, and sports programs like IWA-Sport.
IWA operates 59 Community Centres and 51 wheelchair accessible and affordable homes nationwide, as well as providing many hours of assisted living services to more than 2,000 adults and children.
No surprise, large numbers from across the South West Region convened for the Dromtariffe promotion.
'We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to everyone who came out to the vintage and classic car run in aid of a worthy cause. A truly great day supported a fantastic organisation and the donations flooded in,' said Dromtariffe Vintage spokesman Anthony Holmes.
'The Irish Wheelchair Association advocates for the rights of people with disabilities and works to influence public policy. Donations to the IWA help fund these vital services and support their mission of empowering individuals with physical disabilities,' he said.
Organisers thanked Dromtariffe GAA for the use of their Club Complex at Rathcoole, numerous sponsors, marshalls, club members and volunteers for their support.
