My son Kyle is 4 and he was diagnosed with having Autistic Spectrum Disorder last year.
He attends preschool in Joseph Beag which is in St Joseph’s Primary School and is a special class for children between the ages of 3 and 5 who have Autism. It is run by Principal Ms. Louise Tobin in  Tipperary Town.

Kyle absolutely loves his pre-school. The staff there are amazing. His teacher is Mr. Michael Mc Evoy and his SNAS are Molly Maher and Julie Webb.

We are so grateful that he is being so well looked after we wanted to do something for the school.

Kyle’s grandad is Mike Smith Treasurer of Tipperary Darts Club and he agreed to run a  tournament to raise funds for the ASD preschool at St. Josephs.
On November 5th in Cahir House Hotel 33 teams turned up. It was a very successful day with a total of €3500 raised.

We would love like to say a special thank you to Alice Sheehan a friend of the Smith family who also has an involvement in Tipperary Darts she alone raised €1200. We would also like to thank every dart player that turned up on the day and made the tournament a huge success.

Ms. Tobin, Principal of St. Josephs would like to say a huge Thank You to Mike and Stacey Smith and Alice Sheehan for all their work to make this fundraiser so successful.
Ms. Tobin called to Cahir House on the day of the tournament and the Ballroom was buzzing with very happy darts players having a great day out for a great cause.
The staff of Joseph Beag are delighted to go shopping for much needed special equipment, toys and resources for the pupils in the preschool. Thank you to all involved.
