We were delighted to have been selected as one of the charity partners for the Cavan Christmas Dash 2017. The Christmas Dash is a fantastic, fun event and we’re very grateful for the support. Over €5,290 raised was raised for Enable Ireland and this funding is going towards supporting our hydrotherapy pool in the Enable Ireland Children’s Centre in Cavan.
Cavan Down Syndrome were honoured to be selected as one of the charities associated with the 2017 Christmas Dash. This funding particularly contributed to the ongoing services such as our pre-school teacher service, speech therapy, swimming, horse-riding, summer camps etc.
The Christmas 2015 donation helped fund the Cavan branch of CFI branch's contribution of €450,000 to the €1.1 million project that the branch, in partnership with the HSE, is presently pursuing at Cavan General Hospital. Two distinct areas within the paediatric department of the hospital are being converted into single isolation en suite bedrooms for people with Cystic Fibrosis.
Being selected as the charity of choice for the Cavan Christmas Dash 2013 was an honour. It was such a brilliant event and the extremely kind donation has made a great difference to our service. We were able to purchase wheelchair accessible sports equipment, which has enabled our service users to participate in a range of new activities. Thanks to the organisers and all that took part.
Sosad Cavan were delighted to have been chosen as one of the charities for The Christmas Dash 2016. It was a lovely way to tie in to what we do here. Community coming together and supporting one another at what can be a very difficult time for many. The donation stays in the area and as we receive no government funding it helps us to keep offering support to those in crisis free of charge.
The funds donated to CAPS from the 2016 Dash have helped us to provide over 3,700 hours of respite during fun summer camps in July and August this year to children and young people with a diagnosis of Autism in the county. Many thanks again to the Christmas Dash Committee for thinking of us and the very best of luck for the future.
The New Irish Association for Spina Bifida is very thankful to the Cavan Christmas Dash for the €4,500 which they raised for our charity. This money was very welcomed and will be well spent on Laptops, Computer Training, Physio and Health Care Contribution of our members in the local area. We also provide Hospital stay fees for Parents of members in hospital.
The very welcome funds raised for Cavan MS from the Cavan Christmas Dash 2012 has been used towards the purchase of our wheelchair accessible vehicle. The vehicle is used for bringing our members to hospital appointments and social outings.
The Cavan Branch of The Alzheimer Society of Ireland are honoured to have been partnered with the Cavan Christmas Dash for its inaugural St Stephen's Day 5K. Together we raised approximately €9,000 on the day, all of which was used to support the day care services in the Jack Sullivan Centre.
