Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland (AADI) transforms the lives of children with autism by providing specially trained service dogs that help keep kids safe, expanding their horizons and enhancing their lives since 2010.
McCarthy Insurance Group has partnered with AADI. The partnership is aimed at enhancing the organisation’s vital work in supporting children and families affected by autism. As part of our partnership, we are holding our 2nd annual colouring competition in an attempt to raise awareness for AADI in schools across the country.
We are encouraging schools to get involved by nominating a day for students to come into school wearing red – the colour of the AADI dog jackets – participating in our colouring competition and donating €2 with each entry.
