Welcome to Trinity Med Day 2011, Home of all the latest Updates on Med Day events.
Trinity Med Day is a charitable organisation run by Trinity 4th year medical students, which hosts an annual one day fundraising event to raise money for worthy healthcare projects. Since its foundation in 2002, Trinity Med Day has raised over 450,000 euro for vital local health services and has become an important day in the calendar of the School of Medicine; getting staff, students and consultants alike involved in the fundraising efforts.
This year, on Friday the 4th of November, over 500 medical students will take to the streets of Dublin to collect money for The Heart Support Unit St James’ Hospital and The epilepsy Unit AMNCH, Tallaght. As this year marks the 10th anniversary of Med Day, we also hope to raise money not only through our traditional methods of street collection, on campus activities, talent show and raffle; we also plan to have a gala ball to raise extra funds and mark the occasion.
We are very proud to announce that last year, Trinity Med Day 2010 raised €56,500!
Donations were made to Colorectal Cancer Screening, Tallaght (€24,000), The Burns Unit St. James Hospital (€24,000), The Cancer Care Fund (€3,500) and The Trinity Access Programme (€5,000)!
Official figures received by Brainwave support its estimation that there are 30,000 to 40,000 people with epilepsy in Ireland.
