Thank you to Reza Macdougald who donated an original painting to Sensational Kids as part of his Naas exhibition.

The donation was made at the opening of Reza’s “Art by Reza” exhibition at Lawlor’s Hotel, Naas, where 30 original paintings are being showcased.

Thanks to Jackie Lavin for hosting a lovely evening which brought together members of the local community, art lovers and supporters, with the exhibition officially opened by Minister Martin Heydon.

The donated artwork will be auctioned, with proceeds going directly to Sensational Kids, helping us continue our work providing assessment, diagnosis and evidence-based therapy to children and adolescents with developmental and neurological differences.
