Dance Kids Good Deeds at Christmas Raise over €8000 for Temple Street Childrens Hospital
Christmas time is a time to spread happiness and cheer around and nobody knows this better than Freda Hearty and the Dance Kids from Dundalk, Co. Louth. Every Christmas they hold a ‘Danceathon’ to raise money for Charity, with an amazing €120,000 being raised for charity in recent years. This years Danceathon ‘GROOVY CHRISTMAS’ took place on Sunday 21st December in Kilcurry Community Centre. With an amazing €8000 being raised for the Neurology Department in Temple Street Children’s Hospital. The Dance Kids proudly presented the cheque to Caroline Murphy who has been associated with the Dance Kids for many years.
In addition to their Danceathon, the Dance Kids also performed excerpts from ‘White Christmas’ for the residents of Dealgan Home Nursing Home, Fatima and St Oliver Plunketts Hospital, Dublin Road. The delighted residents sang along to many favourites such as ‘snow’, ‘sisters’, ‘count your blessings’, ‘white Christmas’ and many more. According to Freda Hearty “We were delighted to be able to share the wonderful talent of the kids with the community and we hope that we have managed to spread a little Christmas cheer to all the residents and staff at Dealgan Home and St Oliver Plunketts hospital. Everyone, including myself and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the experience and we hope to visit the retirement homes again very soon.”
