University of Galway Students’ Union has today presented the proceeds of their year of fundraising events to Galway Rape Crisis Centre and Galway Simon Community.
The unique charity events held throughout the academic year raised a total of €19,000 for the two charities.
Events held over the year included a giant Christmas Raffle, a Drag Race, saucy Sex Toy Bingo, charity Take Me Out, a Taylor Swift Night, and Galentine’s Day Brunch.
There were also charity head shaves, quiz nights and yoga classes. The events helped the University of Galway community to stay active and have fun whilst raising funds for two great causes.
Students’ Union President Sai Gujulla said that the response to our year of fundraising events was fantastic, and it helped us all feel connected as a campus.
“Our University of Galway students have a very proud tradition of raising money for charities and they have excelled themselves again this year.”
Students’ Union Vice-President/Education Officer Joe Mee added: “In what has been a stressful year with the cost of living crisis it’s great that the students of University of Galway have put such a huge effort in to raising funds to help others.
“We are delighted to be presenting €19,000 to these two amazing charities who do so much for those in need. To have raised so much is a great achievement for all involved.”
