A total of €12,000 was raised for children in need by the Helix Panto, The Three Musketeers.
All proceeds from the special fundraiser show went directly to Barretstown Children’s Charity.
The funds will go towards helping children living with a serious illness and their families as they make use of the charity’s services.
General Manager of The Helix, Michael Brady, said: “We are thrilled to be donating a remarkable €12,000 to Barretstown, a charity that resonates with families who come to enjoy the panto during the festive period.
“Knowing how much the funds raised will help the charity has given all of us a great sense of fulfilment and pride today.”
CEO of Barretstown Children’s Charity, Dee Ahearn said: “This is a fantastic achievement; we are so grateful to The Helix and Theatreworx for their amazing efforts. Childhood stops for seriously ill children.
“At Barretstown, we Press Play on childhood. But this is only possible through fundraising efforts like these which are vital for us to run our therapeutic programmes serving children affected by serious illness, and their families.
“The services provided to all of the children and families who come to Barretstown are entirely free of charge, and this incredible support will allow more seriously ill children to experience the magic of Barretstown.”
The Three Musketeers cast includes Ireland’s premier tenor, Paul Byrom who returned to the panto stage as Lord Beautface, while AIMS award winner and funny man, Chris Corroon who played Dame Lola.
