Support an Athlete campaign commences in Dublin

Special Olympics Ireland launched the “Support an Athlete” campaign in Dublin. The goal is to raise EUR 5 million for athletes. The initiative is backed by celebrities such as Colin Farrell.
SOI has helped thousands of disabled persons experience the benefits and joy of playing sports in the last four years, since the World Games were last held in Ireland. This was reported by SOI executive Mary Davis.
The fundraising campaign is backed by Eircom. Participants hope to help more disabled persons in the future.
