Sarah Jennifer Knott Foundation

Sarah Jennifer Knott Foundation Our mission is to promote awareness, education, and research for Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP). Jenny also lost her life to cancer at a very young age.

About Us
The Sarah Jennifer Knott Foundation was established following the death of Sarah Knott from Cancer of Unknown Primary on April 11, 2015 at the age of 31. In honour of Sarah’s immense bravery, her family and friends set up the Sarah Jennifer Knott Foundation in an effort to promote awareness, education, and research of Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP). The SJK Foundation also aims to honour and continue Sarah’s late mother Jenny’s charity work. Learn more at www.SJKFoundation.org

A huge thank you from all of us at SJK.

What an incredible day we had at our 8th Annual SJK Golf Classic at Palmerstown House Estate.

An event like this simply doesn’t happen without an enormous amount of support, and once again, our SJK community showed up in force.

A very special thank you to Pinergy, our 2026 Headline Sponsor, for their incredible support of this year’s Golf Classic.

To SPAR, for generously sponsoring lunch on the day, and to Evra Motors, sponsors of our golf team prizes, thank you for helping us make the day that little bit more special.

To every one of our Tee Box Sponsors featured in this reel, we are so grateful for your support and generosity.

And a very special thank you to our individual Tee Box Sponsors:

Patricia Mahon
Willie Forde
Clare O’Donoghue
Clodagh & Billy Davis
Brian, Conor & John David
Karl Woods

And of course, to every single team who joined us on the day. Thank you for coming back year after year, for bringing such a brilliant atmosphere to Palmerstown House and, most importantly, for continuing to support the work of the Sarah Jennifer Knott Foundation.

Thank you also to everyone who donated prizes, supported our raffle, volunteered, helped behind the scenes or contributed in any way. Every part of it matters.

Since SJK began in 2017, together we have raised over €850,000 to support awareness, education, advocacy and research into Cancer of Unknown Primary.

And this year, the impact of that support goes even further, with funds raised through the Golf Classic contributing to work that will be matched by Research Ireland, helping accelerate progress for CUP patients in Ireland and beyond.

We simply couldn’t do it without you.

From all of us at Team SJK, thank you.

What a day.

A little look back at yesterday’s 8th SJK Golf Classic at Palmerstown House Estate.

An incredible day of golf, generosity and support for the SJK Foundation, and one we’re still taking in.

This is just a little glimpse for now… there’s lots more to come.

Two weeks to go.

One of the most talked-about challenges of the day is back…

Beat the Pro.

One shot. One chance. Can you get closer than the professional?

Whether you’re aiming for bragging rights or just giving it your best shot, it’s all part of what makes the SJK Golf Classic such a great day.

We can’t wait to see everyone back at Palmerstown House Estate on Friday 21st August.

There’s still time to support the day through our remaining Tee Box Sponsorship opportunities or by making a donation if you’d like to help us continue funding vital cancer research.

31/07/2026

Just 3 weeks to go.

The countdown is officially on to this year’s SJK Golf Classic, proudly sponsored by Pinergy.

We’re looking forward to welcoming teams back to Palmerstown House Estate for another fantastic day of golf, networking and fundraising.

We still have a small number of team places and Tee Box Sponsorships available, but they won’t be available for much longer.

If you’ve been meaning to enter a team or support the day through a Tee Box Sponsorship, now is the time.

To book your place or find out more, send us a DM or email [email protected].

Every team and every sponsor helps us continue funding life-changing cancer research and support.

We’re also proud to share that all funds raised from this year’s Golf Classic, and for the following four years, will be matched by Research Ireland, doubling the impact of every contribution.
