Volunteers Wanted - Please Support!

Picture
MDI’s 12th “Have a Heart” National Awareness Campaign will take place on 13th and 14th February 2013 and as always the idea behind this event is twofold.   Firstly, to raise much needed funds to help enhance the services which MDI provides for its members and secondly, but equally as important, to spread awareness about the condition muscular dystrophy and the services which MDI provides.

Since its conception, this campaign has raised thousands of euro each year through the sale of two handmade heart shaped chocolates retailing at only €2.  In 2010 as an additional means of raising funds through this campaign,
MDI also introduced heart shaped tea light scented candles for €3.00 each, which also proved to be very popular.
Because of the increased demand in MDI services and cutbacks in Government funding the National Awareness Day in recent years has become more important now than ever.   MDI are therefore looking for as many volunteers as possible to help assist us with this campaign and to help make up for the short fall in funding from Government cutbacks to ensure the we can continue to provide the same level of services to our members.  We would therefore really appreciate your support. 

Once again, MDI will be selling two heart shaped chocolates for €2 and tea light  scented candles for €3.00 nationwide and we are now looking for volunteers to  help sell these during our National Awareness Campaign, on 13th and 14th February 2013.

Bucket Collection

Picture
In addition to our National Awareness Campaign for 2013, MDI will be looking for volunteers to help us with a bucket collection which we will be holding on Grafton Street, Dublin on 14th February 2013.

This is an extra boost to our campaign but to make it really work, MDI once again needs plenty of volunteers to assist us. If you or your local school, college or club can assist, we would be extremely grateful. 

Further information please call or email Amy at the MDI Head Office on (01) 6236414 or email amy@mdi.ie.

We would really appreciate your support.  Thank You.
