Would you be daring enough to leave your swimming trunks behind, strip off and take a dip in the sea in nothing but a dickie bow this November, all to support men’s cancer care in the Mater Hospital?

Well, men from all across the country are being encouraged to take part in The Dickie Dip next month; the annual, all-male, life-affirming skinny dip fundraiser, taking place in Skerries, Co. Dublin.

Be daring, be determined… be a Dickie Dipper for men’s cancer care and join hundreds of brave men baring it all and wading into the sea to help make a life-saving difference for men’s cancer patients in the Mater Hospital. Radio Nova’s Morning Glory presenters PJ Gallagher and Jim McCabe will look to bare all at this year’s event.

Since the inaugural event in 2019, The Dickie Dip participants have stood in solidarity with their fellow men and raised a phenomenal €414,000 to provide essential supports and services for patients who need it most in the hospital.

The Mater Hospital Foundation hopes to raise an ambitious €120,000 for men’s cancer care in the Mater, with the help of hundreds of brave dippers making a real splash in Skerries on Saturday, 16th November.

It couldn’t be easier to take part. Simply visit www.materfoundation.ie/dickiedip and fill out the short registration form. Every dipper who signs up will receive a free dickie bow and a personalised Eventmaster fundraising page, which they can share with family, friends, colleagues and neighbours.
