Tech Tee Up, Ireland’s leading tech community charity sports and networking event at Elm Park Golf & Sports Club, brought together a record number of attendees from across Ireland’s technology, startup and investment sectors, with fundraising set to exceed last year’s total of €75,000.
Speaking on the success of the event, Venture Partner at Elkstone, Barry Brennan said “Today was about bringing people together for good causes. The sports played a key role albeit it remained about participation and networking of course! We are thrilled to support TechTeeUp and the three incredible causes, and to share the stage with the likes of Olympic sailor Annalise Murphy and Kilkenny hurler Richie Hogan and our moderator Hugh Cahill. It was a super occasion.”
The growth of Tech Tee Up reflects the strong support behind the initiative and its mission to combine sport, community and fundraising for good causes. In just two years, the event has established itself as the fixture on the charity sporting calendar, with organisers looking ahead to building on this momentum in 2027.
Returning Sponsors and New Partnerships
Tech Tee Up 2026 was supported by a strong line-up of returning sponsors, who helped to make last year such a success: Eisner Amper, Elkstone, Philip Lee LLP, Amplifi, eDesk, Needl and Stripe. Their support has enabled the event to grow year-on-year, attract more participants and generate increasing support for its charity partners.
In addition, the Business Post joined this year’s event as its official media partner.
Supporting important causes
At the heart of Tech Tee Up are its charity partners: Children’s Heartbeat Trust, Just ASK and Our Lady’s Hospice & Care Services. Funds raised through the event will help these organisations continue delivering essential care, support and services to those who need them most, ensuring the impact of the day extends far beyond the sporting competitions.
This year’s event is also set to significantly exceed last year’s fundraising efforts for the causes in a hugely successful day for both participants and charities alike.
“We are hugely grateful to Tech Tee Up for its ongoing support. This support helps us to future-proof our service provision to both patients and their loved ones. We very much appreciate it.” – Susie Cunningham, Our Lady’s Hospice & Care Services.
“We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of the organising committee, sponsors, and everyone who attended, all coming together with a shared commitment to improving the lives of children and young people with heart disease across Northern Ireland.” – Lynn Cowan, Children’s Heartbeat Trust.
