to complete their studies. Every year we team up with a charity we feel could use our help and we are delighted to be partnered with the DIT Foundation for the 2010 show!
Jim Kelly, CEO of the DIT Foundation, said “I am delighted that the organisers have chosen the DIT Foundation as their charity this year. In the current economic downturn I think everything should be done to assist students who are experiencing financial hardship. We hope to raise as much money as we can from this event and all the proceeds will be funnelled into the ‘Student Assistance Fund’. The DIT Fashion Show is perfect example of how students can work together to produce a first-class event that showcases their skills.”
The DIT Foundation is also sponsoring this year’s Student Design Award for the best designer. According to Jim Kelly, “DIT Foundation is proud to be presenting the Student Design Award and we are really looking forward to the show. The talent and creativity of the designs produced by the eight finalists are all of remarkably high calibre and I’m sure the judges will have a difficult job selecting the overall winner.”
The DIT Foundation was established in 2002. Its aim is to advance the Dublin Institute of Technology mission and thereby facilitate an innovative, responsive and caring learning environment for a diverse range and level of programmes to students of all ages and backgrounds.
