Michael Flatley was on hand to support this year’s HB Hazelbrook Farm Ice Cream Fundays Campaign in aid of Down Syndrome Ireland. He was joined by 4 year old Grace Prendergast, Youghal, Cork and 5 year old Ava Ann Barry, Fermoy, Cork.
THE people of Kerry have been called upon to hold their own ice cream parties with the aim of raising much needed funds for ‘Down Syndrome Ireland’ (DSI).
Michael Flatley was on hand recently to support the launch of the new ‘Fundays Campaign’ that is being organised by HB Hazelbrook Farm where they want people all over the county to organise a party in their locality.
This is the 13th year that the ice cream company has supported the campaign, helping to raise more than €3 million for DSI over that period.
Last year, 1,020 parties across Ireland saw 142,442 people participate in the campaign and enjoy free HB Hazelbrook Farm ice cream. The campaign is a vital source of funding for the development of Down Syndrome Ireland’s nationwide support services to their members, families and organisations, which are in huge demand and under resourced.
The money raised will go towards helping to fund core services in the areas of Early Development, Education, Health, Speech and Language Therapy and Independence to members of DSI and the professional community connected by Down Syndrome.
Anyone looking to get involved can simply freephone 1890 37 37 37 or register online the DSI website here. You will receive your party pack, which also includes vouchers for free HB Hazelbrook Farm ice cream.
