Santa’s Christmas Challenge at the DSPCA!

Get your family, friends and doggos together to show off your festive spirit and support a great cause this 9th and 10th of December!   Yes, you read that right.

This Christmas, our good friend Santa, is challenging you to:

  • Get your friends, pets and family together,
  • Put on your favourite Christmas jumpers
  • And collect sponsorship before you join them to take on this festive walk at the DSPCA in Rathfarnham, on 9th / 10th December.

Santa’s Challenge

The perfect way to get into the festive spirit, Santa’s Challenge will take you on a pet and child-friendly ‘spot-the-animal’ treasure hunt along their festively-decorated walking trail.

They’ll have something for everyone to enjoy, with yummy treats, market stalls and great gifts at the DSPCA Shop.

Finish your day by getting a photo with the man of the moment, Santa Claus himself and take ho,ho,home a thank-you goodie-bag!

To make it even easier to fundraise, when you buy a ticket, a pre-generated online DSPCA sponsorship page will be created for you,

So don’t forget to easily share that link to your sponsorship page with friends, family, colleagues and classmates, to help raise as much vital funds as you can.

Please be a good human and help them to continue their mission to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home all the animals that come into their care.

They need your help. They are asking for those who can’t.

Be sure to buy your tickets early as they it’s bound to be a sell out!
