Celebrations
Donations in lieu of gifts
We don’t expect gifts when we have a celebration but when was the last time you went to a party and didn’t bring a gift? We all do it.
If you’re hosting a party or celebration with friends and family and you’d like to do something a little different, perhaps you would consider asking your guests to make a charitable donation in lieu of a gift. From birthday celebrations to anniversaries, graduations to retirements or even communions and confirmations – donations can be made in your name or at your special event and they are a fantastic way to give back and make a meaningful difference.
We’ll help you to let everyone know that you are raising funds to support the work of Dóchas Midwest Autism Support by providing you with balloons for your event.
To make it as easy as possible you can simply create an online fundraising page through https://www.facebook.com/fund/dochasautism/ which you can share with your family, friends and colleagues to support your fundraising efforts. There are no fees with Facebook fundraising and all donations will be lodged directly into Dóchas Midwest Autism Support bank account.
Dóchas Midwest Autism Support would love to share in your celebration so contact us today and let’s start planning. To find our more, call us on 061-405 923 or info@dochasautism.ie.
