A huge thank you also to our corporate volunteers from Motorola Solutions Cork and Contracting Plus.

Your support made such a difference.
And of course, a heartfelt thank you to Aidan and Diane Dalton and the entire organising committee for all their hard work and dedication in making the morning such a success.
Finally, to every single person who came along, bought a raffle ticket, donated or supported us in any way, thank you.
As a small, independent charity supporting over 200 families, events like this mean so much to us. Every euro raised helps us continue providing vital therapies, services and supports to children and young people with Down syndrome and their families.
Thank you all for helping us raise over €2,000!
