Carlow venues host GOAL Mile this Christmas in support of vulnerable communities around the world
The Goal Mile will take place at three venues in Carlow over the Festive period
To the people of Carlow... your generosity has shone through many times before and this Christmas, GOAL is calling on you to step up once again for the GOAL Mile. Over the past four decades, GOAL Mile has grown to become one of Ireland’s most beloved Christmas traditions, with thousands of people now taking part each year to help GOAL raise vital funds for its life-saving humanitarian aid work with communities facing crisis in Gaza, South Sudan and beyond.
There are over 200 GOAL Miles taking place across Ireland this December and into the New Year, including three in Co. Carlow, so no matter your locality, you’re sure to find one taking place near you.
Speaking about being a GOAL Mile organiser and the impact that can be made, GOAL Mile Champion and GOAL Mile organiser PL Curran of St.Laurence O Tooles AC said:
“Being a GOAL Mile organiser is special as every year, we get to see the amazing people of Carlow to step up for the GOAL Mile and help GOAL raise vital funds to support the communities where they work.
“We are asking for even more people to lace up their runners this year and come and join us at one of the Carlow GOAL Miles. It’s a wonderful opportunity to come together with family, friends, and your community to enjoy some festive fresh air while helping to make a real difference for those who need it most!” Nafisa Brennan, Senior Fundraising Manager at GOAL added:
“Last year, the GOAL Mile raised an incredible €750,000 in support of GOAL’s life-saving humanitarian aid work across Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.
“This year, your involvement can help us make an even bigger impact. At GOAL, we’re calling on you to find your local GOAL Mile and join us for what is always such a fun and memorable event.
“It’s the people that make GOAL Mile and we thank our incredible organisers in every corner of Ireland for their passion and dedication in making all of this possible.”
