€26,000 raised!!! well done to all!!

The Board of Management wish to thank the staff, volunteers, parents and the wider community for the fantastic support that was given for our recent Run The Bridges Fundraiser on Sunday 7th of September. It was a huge success with over 700 entrants in the 10k and 5k and also a large number of donations on the fundraising campaign page. We most sincerely thank all who helped in any way whether it be through entering the race, donating money and refreshments, volunteering as a marshal or helping in any way big or small on the day. It was such a wonderful community event. Thank you to our main sponsor Regeneron. We would like to thank all our sponsors and especially the local businesses in Ballina and Killaloe for their support. A massive thank you also to members of the Gardaí, Coastguard and Clarisford Park for their much-needed support. We are delighted to let you know that just over €26,000 was raised and this money will go towards upgrade works of our school yard. Photos taken on the day by Charlie McGeever are available on www.ballinaprimaryschool.com under the Run The Bridges tab. We are delighted that due to the positive feedback received from everyone we will be running Run The Bridges 2026 on Sunday 6th of September 2026 at 10am.
