Halloween is coming again and Temple Street is calling on everyone in Co. Donegal to host their own spooktacular ‘Trick or Treat for Temple Street’ party and raise vital funds to help sick children.
Broadcaster, model and mum, Glenda Gilson, helped get Temple Street into the Halloween spirit as she launched the hospital’s annual ‘Trick or Treat for Temple Street’ 2019 campaign.
As this year’s launch ambassador, Glenda is calling on everyone from individuals, community groups, schools, crèches and workplaces alike – to host their very own ‘spooktacular’ Halloween party, get the party ‘startled’ this October and help raise vital funds for sick children.
Glenda Gilson is pictured with Fiadg Donne (age 4)from Summerhill Co Meath for the launch of this year’s Trick or Treat for Temple Street campaign proudly supported by MiWadi.
The funds raised during this ‘hair-raising’ campaign will have a direct and positive impact for sick children in Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) at Temple Street, by funding vital, life-saving equipment for the hospital’s wards, theatres, departments and Intensive Care Unit.
Temple Street Foundation and MiWadi are calling on the public to register at www.templestreet.ie/trickortreat to receive a free party pack, which includes Trick or Treat posters, stickers, balloons and much more.
Glenda said: “As a new mum, Trick or Treat for Temple Street is a campaign very close to my own heart and I’m truly delighted to help spread the word about this fantastic campaign, which is once again supported by MiWadi. I encourage everyone to get involved by registering for a free party pack and hosting a Trick or Treat for Temple Street Halloween party, to help raise the vital funds for such a worthy cause.”
“Despite having raised over €2.1million for Temple Street to-date, every year our fundraising targets grow in ambition, as we see the difference it makes to children and families across Ireland,” said Claire Lynch, MiWadi Brand Manager.
