Kicking Off a Summer of Fundraising for Special Olympics Ireland at OMC Claims
We’re diving (literally!) into a huge summer of fundraising at OMC Claims — and it all starts this week with Jim Flannery’s Dip a Day Challenge for the month of May.
After an incredible 2024 where we pulled, climbed, cycled (and cried!) our way to raising over €10,000 for Special Olympics Ireland, we knew we had to go even bigger for 2025.
But this time, we’re making it even more inclusive, collaborative, and open to everyone — because when it comes to fundraising, the more the merrier!
More Challenges, More Friends, More Fun
This year, we’re not just asking for donations — we’re asking you to jump in with us.
Whether it’s:
- Braving a cold-water dip every day in May,
- Scaling the heights of Carrauntoohil,
- Or abseiling off the roof of Croke Park,
there’s something for everyone to get involved in, no matter your comfort zone.
Jim’s Dip a Day Challenge
First up is Jim’s Dip a Day Challenge — and we want you to get involved too.
We’re inviting everyone to #JumpWithJim — once, twice, or every single day in May — by taking a dip in the sea, a lake, or even a cold shower.
Post your photos or videos on LinkedIn, tag OMC Claims, and challenge your friends and colleagues to join in.
We’ve also set up an event fundraising page where you can jump on board, track your dips, and share your own fundraising journey.
Every splash, shiver, and smile makes a difference!
Croke Park Abseil Challenge
We’re also delighted to share that all our places for the Croke Park Abseil Challenge are now filled.
A huge thank you to everyone who signed up so quickly — the response has been incredible.
We’ll be announcing our full abseil team at the start of June, and we can’t wait to cheer them on as they take the plunge for Special Olympics Ireland.
Scaling Carrauntoohil
Later this summer, we’ll be heading back to Carrauntoohil for OMC Climbs 2 – The Return to the Top.
Whether you’re an experienced hiker or a first-time adventurer, we’d love as many people as possible to join us, challenge themselves, and tick off that bucket list item of climbing Ireland’s highest mountain — all while supporting a brilliant cause.
Aligned in Mission: OMC Claims and Special Olympics Ireland
At OMC Claims, inclusivity isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a core part of who we are.
That’s why working alongside Special Olympics Ireland feels so natural.
Both of us share the same vision: building communities where every person is valued, empowered, and celebrated.
Whether through sport, teamwork, or wild fundraising challenges, we’re proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with an organisation that lives and breathes inclusion every single day.
What’s Next?
The energy is high, the Speedos are packed (you heard right — Jim’s upgraded for 2025!), and we can’t wait to see what this summer brings.
Stay tuned for updates, videos, and (let’s be honest) a few hilarious moments along the way.
If you’re ready to dive in, climb up, or cheer us on — we’d love to have you along for the ride.
Let’s make this a summer to remember — for an incredible cause.
