Ability West launches “Win a Kia Picanto” community car draw campaign
Thu, Mar 05, 2026
Ability West has officially launched an exciting new community fundraiser, offering supporters the chance to drive away in a brand-new Kia Picanto through its “Win a Kia Picanto” car draw campaign.
The initiative was unveiled at Croílár Day Service on the Tuam Road in Galway and broadcast live on the Galway Bay FM Ronan Lardner Show. The launch was proudly sponsored by Kinlay Hostel Galway.
Croílár was filled with music, celebration and community spirit as Leo Moran of The Saw Doctors joined staff, families and the people supported by Ability West for an afternoon of song and camaraderie. Broadcaster Ronan Lardner marked the occasion with interviews featuring CEO Julie Silke Daly, Board Chair Ray Kelly and newly appointed Advocacy Council Chair Joseph Faulkner, before closing with a warm conversation with Leo Moran.
