Woodie’s Cavan raise over €12K for Heroes Campaign

Woodie’s Cavan celebrated the wrap-up of the ninth annual Woodie’s Heroes campaign this week. The store raised a remarkable €12,124 with help of customers, colleagues and suppliers for four children’s charities. All of funds raised will be divided equally among ISPCC Childline, Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland, Down Syndrome Ireland, and Make-A-Wish Ireland.

Woodie’s Heroes was established in 2015 and has raised over €3 million to date for Irish children’s charities. This year’s campaign is expected to see that figure grow closer to €3.5 million. Customers donated by adding a donation in-store at the till, online at woodies.ie or by text.

The team at Woodie’s Cavan were overjoyed by the generosity and support shown during the campaign by their local community and wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of those who donated.

After four weeks of fundraising, it was a proud moment for the colleagues in-store when they presented the cheque for €12,124.

The money raised will make a meaningful difference to the children and families who are supported by these four amazing charities – ISPCC Childline, Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland, Down Syndrome Ireland, and Make-A-Wish Ireland.
