Glanua Raises €26,000 for Croí at Loughrea Golf Classic

Glanua has raised an incredible €25,920 for the heart and stroke charity, Croí. The funds were raised during a recent Golf Classic held at Loughrea Golf Club.

Karl Zimmerer, Group Managing Director of Glanua, expressed his delight at the event’s success, “We are delighted that our third Golf Classic in support of Croí was a huge success. It was a fantastic event that not only raised vital funds for heart and stroke services in the West of Ireland, but also brought our industry together to champion the importance of heart health. Over 80 golf enthusiasts from our supply chain, clients and employees travelled from all over the country to Loughrea Golf Club to support our event. We were also very pleased to have Croí join us on the day providing valuable advice and awareness of heart disease and stroke.”
