All proceeds raised from the Remembrance Tree will go directly to supporting the organisation’s work with children, young people, and families impacted by cancer.

This year’s Remembrance Tree will be officially launched on Friday, December 12, and the area will feature a lively festive atmosphere, including performances by the Unity Gospel Choir and additional musical entertainment.

Denise Brazil, President of Limerick Central Rotary Club, said: “The Remembrance Tree will provide a public focal point for people to remember a loved one who has passed on, is unable to be home for Christmas or someone they would just like to remember, while also raising funds for a wonderful charity

Lisa Kearney, Shopping Centre Manager with the Castletroy Town Centre, said: “The Remembrance Tree is an important part of the Christmas period, and we are very excited to have a tree here in Castletroy this December. We are looking forward to working with Limerick Central Rotary Club on this project and hope all our shoppers will put a ribbon on the Remembrance Tree”.
