Preparations for a great cause are set to come to fruition with the inaugural MartAid 2020 event set to launch tomorrow evening, November 5, at 6:00pm sharp.
Kicking off tomorrow, a number of marts from all over Ireland will concurrently host a live charity auction, MartEye – the firm behind MartAid – says.
The money raised will be donated to Embrace FARM in support of the work the charity does in helping those affected by farm accidents.
A number of eye-catching lots are set to be put up for auction on the day…with further details set to be revealed later this evening.

MartEye was founded at the start of Covid-19 to help marts and farmers buy and sell livestock online.
Launched six months ago, MartEye – based in Portershed, Co. Galway – is used in 40 marts across Ireland and the UK.
“The response from the farming community has been incredible and so as a team we all felt the need to give back,” according to the firm.
The platform also features a dashboard for the auctioneer and an app for the farmers, the firm says.
