Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I being charged for a T-shirt?
It costs Pieta €8 to print and deliver each t-shirt for Darkness Into Light. In an effort to ensure our services remain free of charge to anyone that needs them, we must charge a nominal fee for the iconic Darkness Into Light t-shirt. While we have a fresh new design for 2025, we still enourage you to reuse your previous t-shirt if you so wish.
How do I claim the FREE beanie or hoodie?
While fundraising is optional, your efforts make a significant impact. Pieta is 85% funded by fundraising events like Darkness Into Light so we encourage you to get involved and support our cause!
To claim your beanie or hoodie, click on your name in the top right corner and select 'Dashboard.' Once you're on the dashboard, scroll down, and you'll find your unlocked rewards.
What is the last day to order the 2025 Darkness Into Light t-shirt to guarantee delivery in time for the event?
The last day for ordering the t-shirt ONLINE in order to guarantee delivery is -
- ROI & NI - Wednesday 30th April 2025
- UK - Tuesday 21st April 2025
However, you can purchase a t-shirt at any of our T-shirt Purchase Points, which are locations across Ireland where you can collect your Darkness Into Light t-shirt after April 30th. These include Pieta Centres, local registration events organized by community committees, and all 72 Sherry FitzGerald offices.
Do I have to fundraise for Darkness Into Light?
While we would love it if you could fundraise for Pieta, we understand not everyone is in a position to do so. Once you register to take part in Darkness Into Light you will automatically get a fundraising page but it is up to you if you wish to share this with friends and family. Fundraising is optional, but impactful!
Pieta is 85% funded by public fundraising and we rely heavily on your support. No matter how small, every penny counts and goes towards extending our life saving services to everyone who needs them.
