Honouring these children gives many other families all over Ireland, struggling to come to terms with a seriously ill child, the hope that their child can have a fulfilled life. These children deserve recognition and to know that they are not alone and not forgotten about and that there is light at a very dark tunnel.

 “There is no greater joy in the world than seeing the smile on the face of a very special child who has suffered so much in their short and traumatic young lives when their fondest dream comes true, knowing you made it happen. It’s magic!!” said Shay Kinsella, Founder/CEO.

The Dream Ball is a magical night with Muireann O’ Connell to remember with wonderful surprises, non-stop entertainment, fine food, great company, dancing till late and a wonderful feeling of sharing in the achievements of these inspiring children and celebrating life and our blessings.

Please help us honour and recognise sick and disabled children and allow us to bring a little magic something special into their lives when their fondest dreams come true.

Make the Dream Ball your Christmas celebration with our family friends or workmates and share the real spirit of Christmas reaching out a hand of love and support by being part of the Dream Ball.
