Fundraise
Fundraising is a crucial source of income in assisting us with the services and supports we provide to individuals and families affected by HD. With the help of dedicated volunteers we run annual events throughout Ireland including:
The #Sunriseupcroaghpatrick event takes place each year at the end of June at Croagh Patrick, Westport, Co Mayo. The event supports people affected by Huntington's Disease, Parkinson's Disease and Motor Neurone Disease. You can choose to support the charity of your choice or all three charities. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the 2020 event took place virtually on 27th June 2020 : SunRiseUpCroaghPatrick for HD. If you wish to support those raising funds for Huntington's Disease Association of Ireland you can sponsor participants here SUCPforHD.
Mini Marathon – Each year wonderful women take part on behalf of HDAI. In 2019: Aisling; Anne, Catriona & Lynne; Ciara & Holly; Josie; and Nicole & Shannon supported HDAI in the Dublin marathon.
HDAI uses iDonate, which is an online platform assisting charities and non-profits with fundraising and allows volunteers to raise funds online.
Joe Doran’s HD Awareness Walk takes place in July at Lough Key Forest Park, Boyle, Co Roscommon. All welcome!

Corporate Giving
Does your workplace have a corporate social responsibility program? Some HDAI fundraisers have sought matched funding from their employers and by doing so they have doubled their sponsorship raised from activities including company Bake Offs, Coffee mornings and Fun Runs.
Perhaps your company might consider matching sponsorship or including HDAI in their Charity of the Year nominations. Please contact HDAI on 01 872 1303, or email at info@huntingtons.ie to discuss further.
