Killarney

<h3>Jumpers have helped to raise almost &euro;10k so far &#8211; but now it&#8217;s a very special jersey which could drive the fundraising numbers up!</h3>
A Kerry football jersey signed by the 2022 All-Ireland winning team is up for grabs via a fundraising link once a donation is made to the Presents for Palliative fundraiser.
On Friday eight local schools including Holy Cross Mercy, Killarney Community College, Presentation Monastery, Lissivigeen, St Brendan&rsquo;s College, St Brigid&rsquo;s, St Francis Special School, and St Oliver&rsquo;s swapped their uniforms for their most colourful festive gear with funds going to help the amazing services in the Palliative Care Unit/Kerry Hospice Foundation.
&#8220;The day took place across the schools involved last Friday (December 2) and looks like it has been a success,&#8221; teacher Elaine Moynihan from St Brendan&#8217;s College told the Killarney Advertiser.
&#8220;The donations from the schools are still being counted but students look to be on their way towards making their goal of &euro;10k.&#8221;
The&nbsp;iDonate&nbsp;&#8216;Fundraising For&nbsp;Kerry Hospice Foundation&#8217; has been very helpful in this regard, she added.
&#8220;Anyone who donates via the link and leaves their name will be in with a chance to win a Kerry jersey signed by the 2022 All-Ireland winning team which will be presented to them before Christmas by a couple of members of the team.
&#8220;This was organised by the students involved in the fundraiser as a way to say thanks, and give back, to the members of the community who have gotten involved in the event &#8211; the link is live until December 18 and the draw will be made the following day.&#8221;
