Join schools across Ireland in Going Red for AADI!
By donating just €2, students can take part in a fun and creative challenge with the chance to win amazing prizes — while making a real difference in the lives of autistic children across Ireland.
This April, as part of Autism Awareness Month, we’re inviting schools across the country to take part in Go Red for AADI – a national campaign to raise funds and awareness for autistic children and their families.
Whether you’re planning on entering our colouring competition, dress-in-red day, or both – your school will be helping to change lives through the power of autism assistance dogs.
❤️ What is Go Red for AADI?

💙 Why It Matters
At AADI, we provide specially trained assistance dogs to children with autism — completely free to their families. These incredible dogs offer safety, independence, and life-changing companionship.
With support from amazing partners like McCarthy Insurance and the generous efforts of schools like yours, we can continue changing lives all over Ireland.
