Supporting Special Olympics Ireland

By attending this year’s Dublin Twestival you will be helping to raise funds for Special Olympics Ireland. Your proceeds will help in sending 126 Special Olympics Athletes to compete at the top level in their chosen sport at the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games taking place in Athens, Greece. The cost incurred by Special Olympics Ireland to prepare and send the athletes to Athens is in the region of €3,500 per athlete. All funds raised at Twestival will help in alleviating this cost. As the first country to host the Special Olympics World Games outside of North America, Ireland has a very special relationship with Special Olympics. Help us to continue that relationship by supporting Team Ireland as they prepare to compete on the world stage in Greece.

We are delighted to announce that Eircom are the main sponsor of the 2011 Dublin Twestival in aid of the Special Olympics Ireland.

Last year we were very fortunate to have Eircom support the 2010 and it is great to have them back again this year. Their sponsorship has given our fundraising tally a great boost and this translates to more funds for sending athletes to this years Special Olympic games in Greece.

Thank you again Eircom for being this years main sponsor for the 2011 Dublin Twestival in aid of Special Olympics Ireland.

The Shoos
The Shoos played Dublin Twestival 2010 and are coming back to support 2011.
The Shoos are a four piece band from Dublin. They are the most unlikely set of musicians to be thrown together in any room……

They consist of a Sports wear designer, a Suit, an Insomniac and a grown up ! Last September they released their debut single “Yeah”  which received a lot of National and regional airplay  such as FM104′s Strawberry pick of the week, Spin 103.8, 98fm, 2fm and Newstalk 106fm. They were the opening act for One Republic on their tour of Ireland.  The new single “Distance”  is due for release on the 6th of May and has been picking up a lot of airplay in the last week on Today Fm, 104, Spin, Beat Fm, East Coast and most other fm dials. As a result the band were asked to play on the Pat Kenny radio show this week and gains another 425,000 listeners.
 
It's great to have the guys on board and why not jump on to twitter and say hello to them yourself! @theshoosmusic

Nyum Nyum Nyum! Thank you Seapoint Restaurant Monkstown!
