Christmas Day swim at Rush Sailing Club was a great success! Families coming together to brave the cold and support the RNLI and the Irish Cancer Society, huge thanks to the Commodore and committee of RSC for facilitating this event year on year.

The €3,500 raised for the Irish Cancer Society, an impressive amount and it is a great start to the fundraising for 2025 for the Rush Daff Day Committee. Huge thanks goes to the McAllister Family - “The Macks” – who donned their yellow daff day t-shirts and did a round of the local public houses on Christmas eve getting a great response from everyone out enjoying the festivities. Paul Thorne raised money from his colleagues in Dublin Bus and braved the water on Christmas morning and huge thanks to everyone who donated.

Special thanks should also go to Rush Golf Club, AMC Catering, and the Harbour Bar for their generous contributions. Their support clearly played a vital role in reaching the impressive €3,500 total.
With Daffodil Day on March 28th, the momentum from the Christmas swim and the community’s collective efforts are sure to make it an even bigger success. This kind of generosity and togetherness is what makes Rush such a special place.
