LIT staff and students were set to hold Ireland’s largest ‘Mannequin Challenge’ on Wednesday, November 30.

The trend, which has taken social media by storm, will find its way onto the Moylish Campus with over 200 people set to take the LIT Mannequin Challenge as part of the institute’s Christmas MarketLink.

All Funds raised from the LIT Mannequin Challenge event went directly to the Children’s Ark Unit, Limerick Marine Search and Rescue, and Rape Crisis MidWest.
