Each year the students of St. Michael’s College, Dublin organise an energetic fundraising campaign, primarily focused on selling Christmas Trees. Their efforts support a number of charities, including St. Vincent’s Foundation.

We are really grateful to the students, their parents and their teachers for this continued contribution which is most important to us.
