THE Easter Bunny will make a special appearance in playgrounds throughout East Clare as part of a fundraising event for Clare Crusaders’ Clinic.
Children can meet the Easter Bunny on Saturday, April 16, in O’Briensbridge at 11am, Broadford at 11.45am, Tulla at 1.30pm and Ennis Fairgreen at 3.30pm for a chat and photographs.
Parents can make donations to the collection buckets that will be available at the playgrounds.
The idea behind the fundraiser came from The Easter Bunny, Tina O’Loughlin, Broadford, who visited children’s gardens last year to collect money for the local playground development.
Tina approached Lourda Doyle who felt this fun event should be repeated this year for Clare Crusaders.
Lourda said it is important to raise money for Clare Crusaders, which provides a lot of free therapy to children with special needs.
The Easter Bunny visited Barney’s Kids Club on Sunday, which was a huge success for both children and parents, as part of an initiative for Ennis Voices for Autism (EVA). On Thursday evening, April 14, The Easter Bunny will also visit Tulla Inclusive Athletics.
