Tipp students shave or dye fundraiser

Tipp students from Athlone IT's 2nd Year Nursing course, who work between Mullingar, Portlaoise and Tullamore hospitals, took part in the Irish Cancer Society's Shave or Dye events last Tuesday.

 

Setting out to hit their goal of raising €1000 for the cause it quickly became evident that this would easily be surpassed due to the enthusiasm of the collectors and the generosity of those on campus. Dressed in Shave or Dye T-shirts and rather unmissable hair do's the students were a sight to behold and generated huge awareness for the cause. The Tipperary students were Elaine Butler, Sarah Butler, Roisin Ryan and Niamh McCarthy.

 

Also featured on Today Fm's Ian Dempsey breakfast show that morning the efforts of all those involved were applauded nationwide. Now set to double their target to €2000 including their own personal fundraising, the class would like to extend their thanks to everyone involved and who kindly donated and voiced their appreciation of the event.
