Rape Crisis Midwest have turned to social media to roll out an online version of their annual Dainty Daisy fundraiser and are calling on the public’s help to support them. Covid-19 restrictions have stopped them holding their annual fun filled event, however, this year a group of former contestants took on the challenge to ensure Rape Crisis Midwest keeps on rolling and dusted off their dancing shoes for an epic online clip, encouraging people to click and donate to raise much needed funds.
The idea for ‘10 Proud Marys’ was discussed as an alternative to the annual event held in the Woodstock Hotel, Ennis. The men who perform in the video are from a variety of backgrounds from accountants to poets and have all competed in previous events.
Coached by Lourdes O Donoghue, owner of Sparks School of Hip Hop, the 10 dance students met on a weekly basis to learn the choreographed dance routine before performing in Shannon Airport.
On Monday’s Morning Focus, Gavin Grace spoke to Verena Tarpey from Rape Crisis MidWest.
