2012
- The Institute of Technology, Tallaght.
As part of the Advertising and Marketing Communications course, students were required to plan and create an event. They organised a Retro Sports/fun day, which took place in the college in April. The day consisted of sports events like ‘tug of war’ and three legged race and all the games that remind people of when they were in primary school, stalls with candy floss and penny sweets and all the elements of a community fun day. The day was a huge success raising an incredible €1,137.00 for DEBRA Ireland.
2009
- LIT Outdoor Club and Built Environment
They’re at it again! The students from LIT, in particular the Outdoor Club and Built Environment, have managed to raise over €3,000 again this year for DEBRA Ireland. The LIT Outdoor Club held bucket collections and sold their stylish hoodies which are sponsored by the Lahinch Surf School and raised an amazing €2,000 while the Built Environment organised the LIT Built Environment Ball which raised over €1,000.
A special mention must go to Dr. Alan Kavanagh, Declan Furey, Shane O’Neil and surf legend John McCarthy, Lahinch Surf School for their continuous support. Cheers guys.

2008
- DIT Rag Week
DEBRA Ireland was delighted to be part of the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) Rag Week 2008 which was a huge success raising €20,000 during the week.
The week kicked off on Monday, 25th February 2008 in Temple Bar, with students dressing up in a variety of fancy dress costumes such as butterflies, Spongebob Squarepants, Superman, a Venom and even an old school Bananaman to name but a few. The rest of the week was followed by Father Ted Quizzes, the Christy Moore Tribute night and students belting out the songs during Karaoke in Shine. This was all before the students stomachs were put to the test during the Iron Stomach Challenge, which had to be seen to be believed!
We would like to thank everyone who took part in the week and had lots of fun while raising money for DEBRA Ireland. A special thanks goes to Bodkins, the living room and Shine who let us use their venues. To all the DIT SU staff and students thank you for all you support and for making the week such a huge success.
