Cork Business Association (CBA) raised €5,595 for St Paul’s Special School, Montenotte at this year’s Cork Business of the Year Awards 2026, which took place last month at Vienna Woods Hotel.
The school supports children and young people aged 4 to 18 with moderate, severe, and profound general learning disabilities, providing a tailored, individualised education in a safe and nurturing environment.
Guests on the night were invited to contribute through a fundraising raffle, which received an overwhelmingly positive response and reflected the generosity of the funds raised.
The success of the raffle was made possible thanks to the many local businesses who generously donated an exceptional array of prizes, helping to drive an engaging and successful fundraising effort on the night.
CBA would also like to extend sincere thanks to all attendees of the awards evening, whose contributions will support the vital work carried out by St Paul’s Special School in delivering specialised care, education, and opportunities for its students.
Speaking following the event, Dave O’Brien, President of Cork Business Association said:
“We were delighted to support St Paul’s Special School as our charity partner for the 2026 Awards. These funds will make a meaningful difference, and we are proud to play a role in supporting such an important local organisation.”
The CBA Awards continue to celebrate excellence across Cork’s business community while also providing an opportunity to give back and support impactful local causes.
