primary and secondary schools from the Ballincollig, Youghal and Little Island

Louis Walsh Announces ISPCC Childline As Official Charity Partner For Cannonball 2018
2018-07-07 10:00 - 13:00
ISPCC Childline ambassador and X Factor
icon Louis Walsh got to grips with Lamborghini Aventador and BMY i8 supercars
along with Zane (6) and Holly (5) to announce that Childline will be the
official charity partner for Cannonball 2018. This is a very special year for
Ireland’s supercar spectacle as the 10th anniversary of the event approaches
and all Cannonballers reunite for the ultimate supercar road-trip!

Cannonball, the action-packed supercar
spectacle, is set to roll on September 7th – 9th with over 190,000 people
expected to line the streets all around Ireland. Top mark cars including
McLaren, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche, Maseratti, Rolls Royce
and Bentley will blaze a trail through Dublin, Cavan, Donegal, Mayo, Spanish
Point, Blarney, Cork, Tramore, Kilkenny and Wexford taking in Ireland’s Ancient
East, Hidden Heartlands and Wild Atlantic Way.

Cannonball has already raised €960,000
for Irish charities and this year, the milestone of €1,000,000 raised for
charities will be broken. The official charity of Cannonball 2018 will be
Ireland’s 24-hour listening service for children and young people, Childline.
The Childline service answers over 380,000 contacts from children and young
people across Ireland each year who may feel lonely, hurt or anxious, or who
may simply wish to chat about their day. Childline volunteers listen to,
support and empower children and young people, even when it may seem as though
there is no-one else to listen. A call to Childline can change a child’s life.

Spectators will get up close and
personal with 190 of the finest cars on the planet and enjoy the unique
festival atmosphere that Cannonball is renowned for. The Brazilian Dancers will
bring all the glamour of carnival and the Monster Truck will have fire breathers
and some great tunes to get the party started and some great free
giveaways. Doc and Marty McFly will be
Back to the Future this year in the fully kitted out Delorean and the notorious
NYPD, German Polizei, Fr Willie and colourful Cannonballers in crazy costumes
add to the melee. From Spiderman to Star
Wars, Cat Woman to Wonder Woman, Cheerleaders to Charlie’s Angels, Batman, The
Joker and more, it is a totally unique free family day out.

Cannonball, sponsored by Hone, the
revolutionary new renewable energy provider, is the brainchild of Kildare
businessman and AB Signs proprietor, Alan Bannon. The benefit to the Irish
economy of this event is estimated at €2,567,000 per year. The last 12 months
have been pretty exceptional for Cannonball Ireland. It went to America for the first time in
October as well as making headlines in Scotland, Wales and across the Continent
with the excitement and spectacle that Cannonball is renowned for. A Bugatti
Chiron joined Cannonball for both the Highlands and Lions Trip this year. There
are high hopes that this engineering masterpiece will make its debut appearance
in Ireland for the 10th Anniversary.

Celebrity Cannonballers include
Boyzone’s Shane Lynch who is a firm devotee and even has the logo tattooed on his
leg! Other household names include former Miss World Rosanna Davison and
husband Wes Quirke, Glenda Gilson, Rachel Allen, Kathryn Thomas, Miriam
O’Callaghan, Georgia Salpa, Emma Quinlan, Holly Carpenter, Roz Purcell, Nadia
Forde, Ryan Tubridy, Mick Galway, Gerald Keane, Andy Quirke, Nicky Byrne, Colm
Hayes, Ryan Thomas, Dirty Sanchez, Jenny Green, former Taoiseach Enda Kenny and
former President Mary Robinson.

This is the year for milestones reached, records
broken, the absolute wow factor and for all Cannonballers to reunite for the
ultimate supercar road-trip! See
