Families from Tibohine and the wider region came out in full force for the Tractors & Tea Family Fun Day on Sunday, 14 June 2026 at Tibohine Community Centre.
This special event to celebrate community spirit in the region was hosted by Tibohine National School, with proceeds supporting the Sunflower Children’s Hospice and Tibohine National School. The event was a tremendous success, with €2,000 being raised for the Sunflower Children’s Hospice.
The Tractor Run and Family Fun Day was proudly sponsored by Regan Tractor & Jeep Sales, Frenchpark. The Sunflower Children’s Hospice holds a special place in the hearts of the event’s organisers due to the outstanding support, compassion, and care it will provide to patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families across County Mayo and County Roscommon once it opens.
Attractions and activities on the day included:
Martina Jennings, CEO of Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to be the chosen charity for this wonderful community event in Tibohine. Events like this are so important because they bring people together in a meaningful way while raising vital funds that help us continue providing the highest standard of care and support to patients and families across the region. This event will help raise funds for the Sunflower Children’s Hospice, a much needed amenity for children and families across the Western Seaboard. We encourage everyone to come along, enjoy the day and support this fantastic initiative.”
Mary Lynskey, Principal of Tibohine National School, said:
“We were delighted to host the Tractors & Tea Family Fun Day in support of our school and the Sunflower Children’s Hospice. In addition to being a wonderful day out for all attending and raising vital funds, the event also celebrated community spirit and support for families facing difficult circumstances.”
Ireland’s first children’s hospice outside of Dublin.
