ICE Expo 2026, Ireland’s leading construction and plant equipment event, is proud to announce its official charity partners for this year’s show: the Irish Cancer Society and Teac Tom (The Thomas Hayes Trust).

Taking place on 22nd and 23rd May at Punchestown Racecourse, ICE Expo continues to build on its reputation not only as a premier industry event, but also as a platform for meaningful community impact.

Supporting the Irish Cancer Society

The Irish Cancer Society is at the forefront of the fight against cancer in Ireland, providing vital support services, funding life-saving research, and advocating for patients and families nationwide. The organisation works toward a future where fewer people are diagnosed with cancer and where everyone affected receives world-class care and support.

Through events, fundraising initiatives, and partnerships with organisations across the country, the Society relies heavily on public and corporate support to continue delivering essential services and advancing cancer research.

Supporting Teac Tom

Teac Tom, the Thomas Hayes Trust, is a mental health charity focused on providing crisis support, suicide prevention services, and a safe space for individuals in need. The organisation offers 24/7 support and works to break the stigma surrounding mental health while providing practical, accessible help to those experiencing distress.

Cool Cat Partnership and Pink Scania Truck on Display

As part of this year’s charity focus, ICE Expo will showcase a powerful symbol of awareness and support. Cool Cat has partnered with the Irish Cancer Society and unveiled a striking pink Scania 660S V8 truck, designed to raise awareness of cancer across Ireland.

The eye-catching vehicle, which reflects the reality that cancer impacts families nationwide, will be on display throughout the event, giving attendees the opportunity to engage with the initiative and learn more about the cause.

Cool Cat has also committed to ongoing support through monthly donations, helping fund critical services and research carried out by the Irish Cancer Society.

Charity Auction – 100% of Proceeds Donated

In addition, the ICE Expo team will host a charity auction on Friday evening, bringing together exhibitors and attendees for a special fundraising event.

All proceeds from the auction will be donated in full (100%) to the Irish Cancer Society and Teac Tom, reinforcing ICE Expo’s commitment to giving back and supporting both physical and mental health initiatives.

A Platform for Industry and Impact

With thousands of attendees and industry leaders expected, ICE Expo 2026 provides a unique opportunity to combine innovation, networking, and social responsibility. By partnering with two impactful charities and supporting initiatives like the Cool Cat awareness truck and charity auction, the event aims to make a lasting difference beyond the showground.
