Duck Push 2024 - Clongowes
Donation protected
The Clongowes Duck Push 2024 is the continuation of a 30-year-long tradition of fundraising by the Transition Year students at Clongowes. The boys aim to raise funds for Crumlin Children's Hospital in the spirit of 'Kids Helping Kids.'
Over the years, the Duck Push has raised over €2.6 million, enabling the purchase of vital medical equipment to help treat Ireland's sick children.
All funds raised here will be transferred to the Children's Health Foundation Crumlin.
How it Works
Throughout their TY year, students work together to organise fundraising events such as:
- The Clongowes Duck Push Golf Classic Fri 19th April
- The Duck Push 5km + 10km Run Sat 13th Apr
- A 24-hour swim on Thurs 9th Nov
- The Bumper Duck Push Auction- Union Day, 26th May
Students also run mini-companies to raise funds:
- Christmas baubles
- Clongowes crested clothing and items
- The Online Duck Push Shop
The Duck Push itself will take place in various locations all over Ireland, and you will see a giant yellow duck being pushed hundreds of kilometres by our TY students throughout the year. Check last year's spectacular drone footage from our 30km push in beautiful Kerry; Kerry Duck Push
