FAQs

Do we have to take part on a set date?

add remove

No. Choose a day in November or December that suits your school, workplace or club. Pick one day or make it part of a festive event you already have planned.

Do we need to buy a jumper?

add remove

Not at all. Wear a Christmas jumper you already own, add some tinsel or antlers, or come up with your own festive outfit. It’s about joining in, not buying something new.

Is there a minimum amount we need to raise?

add remove
There’s no minimum amount required! We suggest €2, €3 or €5 per person, but you’re welcome to donate whatever you feel comfortable with. Every donation makes a difference!

How do donations get to Marie Keating Foundation?

The easiest way is to share your group fundraising page so people can donate online. If you’d prefer to collect donations in person, use your organisation’s approved collection method and contact us if you need help with the next steps.
