DIT Rag Week

DEBRA Ireland was delighted to be part of the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) Rag Week 2008 which was a huge success raising €20,000 during the week.

 

The week kicked off on Monday, 25th February 2008 in Temple Bar, with students dressing up in a variety of fancy dress costumes such as butterflies, Spongebob Squarepants, Superman, a Venom and even an old school Bananaman to name but a few. The rest of the week was followed by Father Ted Quizzes, the Christy Moore Tribute night and students belting out the songs during Karaoke in Shine. This was all before the students stomachs were put to the test during the Iron Stomach Challenge, which had to be seen to be believed!

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the week and had lots of fun while raising money for DEBRA Ireland.  A special thanks goes to Bodkins, the living room and Shine who let us use their venues. To all the DIT SU staff and students thank you for all you support and for making the week such a huge success.

For more information or if you would like to nominate DEBRA Ireland as your RAG week beneficiary  please contact Conor at conor@debraireland.org or contact the DEBRA Ireland office on 01 4126924.

NCI Fashion Show
On Friday the 16th November 2007 the National College of Ireland (NCI) Students Union hosted an exclusive fashion show in aid of DEBRA Ireland.

The event took place in the foyer of the NCI College, IFSC with the night packed with excitement and entertainment. The fashion on the night ranged from glamorous pieces from A-Wear, Blacktie, Massimo, Cyan, Pilgrim, Savida Dunnes Stores, Gap, United Colours of Benneton, Club Denim and New Look all modeled by NCI students.

Not only did the students put on a great fashion show, they also entertained guests by giving a fantastic dance performance including hip hop and breakdancing during the interval.

DEBRA Ireland would like to send our sincere thanks to all the students who participated on the night. The show was a huge success and raised a total of €3,400.  DEBRA Ireland would also like to thank Pilgrim for their generous raffle prize donations and goodie bags.
