This exciting fitness fundraising party promises an unforgettable experience for all ages and fitness levels.

A lineup of talented Zumba instructors will lead participants through two hours of upbeat routines, mixing fitness, music, and a whole lot of fun. Whether you're a seasoned Zumba enthusiast or a first-time participant, everyone is welcome to join.

The day will also host a pop-up thrift shop, with KWR volunteers available to share more about their work.

The thrift shop will be open to members of the public free of charge.

If you'd like to donate lightly used clothes, books or other saleable items in good condition, please drop your donations to Kildare Wildlife Rescue any day this week between 9am-5pm.

“We are thrilled to host this event for the fourth year in a row, and we can't wait to see the local community come together once again to support Kildare Wildlife Rescue. It's really great to be able to combine my passions in this way,” said Niamh Redmond KWR Volunteer Coordinator and Zumba instructor.

“It’s the perfect combination of fitness, fun, and giving back, and we hope to make this event even bigger than before!” 

All proceeds from the Zumbathon will directly support the care and rehabilitation of wildlife at Kildare Wildlife Rescue Centre. 

This organisation provides essential services to the community, rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned and injured wild animals, and preparing them for their eventual release back into the wild.
