Stena Line Belfast Giants Captain Adam Keefe has joined forces with Northern Ireland’s leading Autism charity, Autism NI, to encourage all fans to stay sober this October and join him in his campaign to ‘Don’t Drink…Donate’.
Patron of Autism NI Adam is putting a freeze on alcohol for the month of October to help raise much needed funds and create awareness for the charity.
The Stena Line Belfast Giants Captain said: “I would ask all my fans to join me this October and give up drink for Autism NI. Save some money and feel a bit healthier, all whilst supporting a great cause. Become a ‘sober supporter’ and either join me in my challenge or donate to my JustGiving page: justgiving.com/Adam-Keefe1.”
Autism NI’s Corporate Fundraising Manager Sarah-Jayne Cassells said: “We are delighted that Adam is supporting Autism NI in this way through giving up alcohol for the month of October. Adam has a wonderful fan base in Northern Ireland and we hope they will all get behind him and support him in his fundraising efforts for the charity.
“With over 20,000 people in Northern Ireland affected by Autism and every year over 300 children within the province are diagnosed with Autism. Autism has become the highest growing disability in Europe. Therefore we really need your support so that we can continue to provide vital services to those families and individuals living with Autism.”
Autism NI is Northern Ireland’s main Autism charity. Formed in 1990, Autism NI exists to support individuals with Autism and their families and campaigns to raise awareness of Autism in the wider society. The charity supports a network of 23 branches and local support groups across NI and provides life changing services for the 20,000 people affected by Autism. All funds raised by Autism NI remain within Northern Ireland and are used to improve the lives of those affected by this hidden disability.
