While the visit of some of the game’s greatest golfers is something to be celebrated, it’s important to remember why they have kept coming back to Limerick since 1990.
The primary purpose of the JP McManus Pro-Am is to raise money for charitable organisations, mostly located in the Mid-West region of Ireland. To date, over €140 million has been raised and this figure is set to rise by many millions more by the time the 2022 event is finished.

“On behalf of St. Gabriel’s, I wish to convey our sincere thanks to the JP McManus Pro Am for the outstanding generosity to the project. We have over 70 children attending the school, some with severe epilepsy, some receiving palliative care. They deserve five star quality. The site we have here is amazing.“

“St. Joseph’s Foundation has been beneficiaries of the JP McManus Pro-Am since its inception in 1990. This involvement has seen the development of a Hydro-Therapy Pool, Liskennett Equine Centre/Sensory Gardens and Residential/Respite houses. On behalf of everybody in St. Joseph’s Foundation, I wish to convey our sincere thanks to the JP McManus Team for once again including the Foundation as a participant in the Pro-Am 2022. The support we have received from the Foundation has given us the confidence and ability to further support the provision of services to children and adults with intellectual disabilities/ASD.”
Noreen Ryan,
Chief Executive Officer. St Joseph’s Foundation, Charleville, Co. Cork

“It is difficult to quantify the impact of the JP McManus Charitable Foundation on Novas, such are the broad-ranging benefits of the donations to capital development in our organisation. While so many of our services throughout the Mid-West have received grant funding – McGarry House, our Intensive Family Support Service and long-term family homes in the community – it is Brother Russell House that has benefited the most. The JP McManus contribution was transformative on the service and the lives of the people who live there. It enabled us to secure matched funding from the Department of Environment in 2014, from which we were in a position to knock the existing building and create a purpose-built ‘home for live’ for the residents that live there.”
