Kerry winners named in National Lottery Good Causes Awards
The awards celebrate and honour inspirational work carried out by hundreds of volunteers, coaches, care givers and other individuals across Ireland, and the organisations they represent.
Seven Kerry winners are among 146 county finalists across categories in Health & Wellbeing, Sport, Heritage, Arts & Culture, Community, Youth, and the Irish Language.
The happy Kerry groups will now go through to the next round of judging where 35 national finalists will be selected to come forward to represent their organisation at a gala event in October 2025.
The Kerry county winners are Tralee Boxing Club (Sport), Kerry International Film Festival (Arts), Castlegregory Community Golf course Association (Youth), Social Action Group Rathmore CLG (Community), Castleisland District Heritage (Heritage), Cumann Tithíochta na Dromoda Teo (Health and Wellbeing), and Na Gaeil (CLG 'Irish Language).
'This nomination is a tribute not just to our club's excellent work, but to every single soul in our community who has contributed to our journey. From our dedicated volunteers to our loyal supporters and invaluable local partners, thank you for believing in our mission,' said Lynda McGrath, Secretary of Tralee Boxing Club.
Tralee Boxing Club was founded in 1936 and continues to thrive due to an exceptional committee and volunteers who tirelessly promote the physical and mental health benefits of boxing.
'Being recognised as a county finalist means the world to us as it validates the passion and hard work our volunteers put in every week,' Lynda added.
