**One of Northern Ireland’s major car dealers has reached its two year fundraising
target for a local cancer charity in one year.**

The Agnew Group has raised £200,000 for the Cancer Fund for Children one year ahead
of schedule and now intends to raise the target for the second year of fundraising.

“We set an ambitious fundraising target to raise £200,000,” said Yuile Magee, managing
director of the Agnew Group.

“As our overall total got steadily closer to the £200,000 milestone staff were spurred
on to hit the target and raise as much as money as possible,” Mr Magee said.

Agnew Group’s 1,100 staff were involved across 16 dealerships and organised a range
of events and activities to raise money. These included runs, coffee mornings, customer
competitions and payroll giving.

The company has now increased its fundraising target to £250,000 in 2019.

The [Cancer Fund for Children](http://www.cancerfundforchildren.com) had an income
of £2.6 million in 2017, roughly similar to the year before. Donations and legacies
made up around half that figure, with trading activities and support group fundraising
making up the balance. The Fund has received significant backing from golfer Rory
McIroy.
