Students urge shoppers to Share
Now in its 42th year and fronted by selfless students willing to go without for a worthy cause (ie, raising money to put roofs over the heads of the deserving elderly) — this campaign only runs in Cork City until Christmas Eve, so the message is: “Dig deep”.
This year, 1,800 students from 22 schools will take part in the 24-hour fast, rung in last night to the sound of the Band of the Southern Brigade.
