Fitness for a good cause: Kildare animal rescue group to co-host Fifth Annual Zumbathon for Wildlife

Kildare Wildlife Rescue (KWR) will join forces with Zumba Naas in order to facilitate the Fifth Annual 'Zumbathon for Wildlife'.

According to KWR, the event, which will take place at Monread Community Centre in Naas, will feature "two hours of dancing, music and nonstop laughing" in aid of Kildare Wildlife Rescue.

"Tickets are €15 online, and €20 at the door with 100 per cent of funds raised going directly to helping native Irish wildlife in need," Kildare Wildlife Rescue added.

Furthermore, Kildare Wildlife Rescue said: "Dance not your thing? Come drop in and browse some Kildare Wildlife Rescue merch and check out the Pop-Up Swap Shop of gently used clothing."

Lastly, Kildare Wildlife Rescue emphasised that it wished to thank Zumba Naas "for organising this event and volunteering their time to help wildlife".

The 'Zumbathon for Wildlife' will take place on Saturday, March 28, 2026.

It will begin at 1pm and conclude at 3pm.

Kildare Wildlife Rescue also made headlines earlier this month when it announced that it had admitted 5,000 cases to its centre back in 2025.
