Domino's has launched a new fundraising event to celebrate 15 years working with Barretstown.
The Domino’s Amazing Race for Barretstown will see 36 teams of six people compete against each other in a series of challenges on Thursday, 30th May at Barretstown Castle, Co Kildare.
The campaign is part of the Press Play initiative which aims to raise an additional €5 million over the next five years to ensure that the charity can expand its programmes to serve more children who suffer from serious illness, and their families.
Through its free, specially-designed camps and programmes, Barretstown brings back the fun of childhood - helping children to enjoy childhood once again.
Over the last 15 years, Domino’s has raised over €350,000 delivering 140 seven-day camps to children living with serious illness.
Dee Ahearn CEO of Barretstown comments:
“We’re delighted to work with Domino’s once again. Their support and dedication to Barretstown has raised a very impressive €350,000, making it possible to serve even more children and families living with a serious illness. We cannot thank them enough. One of the highlights of the calendar is when Domino’s comes to camp to host pizza making days, which, as you can imagine, is a very popular activity with our campers - they rave about their experience every time. Domino’s has hosted 47 pizza making workshops at Barretstown making magical moments for 5,875 children who made their very own pizzas on site with Domino’s fresh quality ingredients, dough, secret sauce and mobile pizza ovens. Thank you to everyone taking part in the Domino’s Amazing Race for Barretstown and those customers who choose to donate their loose change via Pennies, your support will help us to reach our fundraising target of €5 million over the next five years.”
