Fancy a weekend ticket to Electric Picnic and the chance to help Temple St Children’s Hospital? Read on…

Electric Picnic have teamed up with Temple Street Children's Hospital to offer a great incentive to would-be charity fundraisers.

Festival season is well under way and the mother of all festivals, Electric Picnic, is just around the corner. This spectacular 3-day event will kick off on August 29th with acts like Beck, Portishead, Paolo Nutini, London Grammar (pic below) & Chic. A weekend not to be missed and now you won’t have to! The FIRST 100 people who donate or commit to fundraise €500 to Temple Street Children’s Hospital before August 15th will be gifted a 3 day ticket to the festival. This will give you and your friends the opportunity to secure your tickets for this amazing festival while raising much needed funds for Temple Street, with 100% of your donation going to the hospital. At the launch of this exciting partnership, Denise Fitzgerald, CEO Fundraising said, “We were really touched when Electric Picnic partnered with our hospital on this fantastic fundraising initiative. To put it into perspective – these 100 tickets will help us to raise €50,000 for our hospital. "That’s a new dialysis machine or an incubator for a critically ill child. On behalf of our patients I would like to sincerely thank Melvin Benn, all at Festival Republic and everyone involved in Electric Picnic. They have been amazing supporters of Temple Street for many years, raising vital funds for our little patients.” For more details visit Temple St's website or email info@templestreet.ie
