Giant cardboard house to go up in Dublin car park

Young people from the parish of Foxrock in Dublin will work through the night this weekend
to build a giant cardboard house in their church car park.

10,000 boxes have been gathered for the country’s first ever Boscathon, raising funds for Ireland’s first Children’s Hospice,
LauraLynn House being built at the Children’s Sunshine Home,
Leopardstown Road.

The “house” when complete will take up 70 car park spaces measuring 20m by 20m! RTE’s Miriam O Callaghan,
patron of the Children’s Sunshine Home will be helping us to celebrate the house warming at 1.30pm

The event is being organised by the parish youth club and they are inviting as many people as possible to come along to help build and decorate the house over 24 hours. The young parishioners plan to work through the night to get the house built in time for Sunday afternoon’s grand opening.

Photographers Welcome

The Boscathon starts at 2pm on Saturday 2nd October in the grounds of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, Foxrock.

The Grand Finale and house warming  takes place on Sunday afternoon, 3rd October at 1.30pm

Over 3,000 people are expected to take part.  Website www.boscathon.ie
