Jack and Jill hoping for €100,000 boost from 'Happy Faces' campaign

The Jack and Jill Foundation is calling for as many people as possible to support their Easter fundraising drive.

The children's foundation is running a 'Happy Faces' campaign where photographers across the country are offering professional portraits for €25 up to April 9.

The children's foundation was set up to provide home nursing care for children with brain damage.

Communications director with the Jack and Jill Foundation Carmel Doyle said they were hoping to get as many people on board as possible.

"The target is to have 4,000 'Happy Faces' done by April 9 (which would raise) €100,000," she said.

"We only got the news last week that we've suffered another 3.7% cut (in state funding), so campaigns like this are what we really rely on in Jack and Jill."
