Kildare girl on hand to help launch Snowball Dough Ball Day in aid of Enable Ireland

The festive season has officially arrived at Milano, with Ireland’s most iconic pizzeria brand bringing more holiday magic to the table than ever before. From Tuesday November 12, Milano is launching its brand-new Christmas menu, with its famous Snowball Dough Ball Day also returning on Tuesday November 19.

2024 marks the 20th anniversary of Milano’s partnership with Enable Ireland, and during this time Milano has raised over €290,000, with funds supporting the charity’s services, including their National Assistive Technology Training Services, which provides free technology services to children and adults with disabilities.

Enable Ireland service user Erin Maguire from Kildare, Milano team member Maeve Kelehan and Enable Ireland Ambassador and Paralympian Mary Fitzgerald were all on hand to make this launch possible and raise funds for an important cause.

For one day only, customers can indulge in the delicious Snowball Dough Balls for just €1, with all proceeds going to the brand’s charity partner, Enable Ireland, a national disability services provider supporting children and adults and their families.

Paula MacKenzie, Milano CEO, said, “This season is one the most magical times of the year, and our delicious new menu is certainly the star of the show, with many new and returning festive favourites.

"However, it's also a time for spreading joy and making a difference to those in need, so we’re delighted to bring our famous Snowball Dough Ball Day back in support of the incredible work Enable Ireland do to support families.”

Donal Kitt, National Fundraising Manager at Enable Ireland, said, “It’s fantastic that Snowball Dough Ball Day is making a return this year and we want to thank Milano, its team members and customers for their support over the past 20 years. The funds raised have enabled us to purchase vital technology and equipment and made a real difference in the lives of children and adults using our services.”
