Our Iron Games Golf Classic was our biggest (and we wanted it to be the best!) fundraising event this year, and took place at the prestigious K Club on Friday 1st May 2026! This event was more than just a day on the greens, it was an opportunity to make a real, life-changing difference for people living with haemochromatosis in Ireland.
Funds raised will help support our Helpline, provide educational webinars, raise awareness and equip medical professionals with vital resources. Sponsorship isn’t just about golf, it’s a chance to engage employees in meaningful ways.
Ireland has one of the highest rates of haemochromatosis in the world, 1 in 5 people carry the gene, and 1 in 83 will develop the condition. Every company and private individual who supported us, changed and improved the lives of patients and ensures early diagnosis and better care for those affected.
