2009 National Fundraising Awards |
Ireland's Top Charity Fundraisers Honoured at 2009 National Fundraising Awards The winners of the 2009 National Fundraising Awards: (from left to right) Michael Sheridan of the Mercy University Hospital Foundation (Fundraiser of the Year - Large Organisations), Michael Hilary (Volunteer Fundraiser of the Year - under € 100,000 raised), Patrick Burke for Simon Communities of Ireland (Fundraising Campaign of The Year - Large Organisations), Mary Kennedy (host of the Awards), Stuart McLaughlin of Business to Arts (Fundraiser of the Year - Small Organisations), Margaret Gill for Self Help Africa (Voluntary Fundraiser of the Year - over €100,000 raised) and Sheila Campbell of The Down Syndrome Centre (Fundraising Campaign of The Year - Small Organisations). The winners of the 2009 National Fundraising Awards were announced on 20 October at a gala ceremony, hosted by RTÈ presenter Mary Kennedy, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Dublin.
The 2009 Fundraiser of the Year Award for large organisations went to Michael Sheridan of the Mercy University Hospital Foundation. Michael raised nearly €1 million for the hospital in 2008 alone. He also created and implemented the hospital's first fundraising strategy, initiating over 50 fundraising events, campaigns and projects over the past two years. Michael has vastly increased the status and brand recognition of the charity, and he took an active role in all fundraising events - recently completing an 80-mile cycle in aid of the Prostate Cancer Clinic.
