Woodie’s launch seventh annual Heroes campaign
Almost €2 million raised in last six years for children’s charities in Ireland
As Woodie’s launch their seventh annual Woodie’s Heroes campaign, their hope is to have their biggest and best year of fundraising to date so that they can help four heroic Irish charities continue their brilliant work.
The campaign kicks off from Sunday, July 18, running all the way through to Saturday, August 14 and will support Down Syndrome Ireland, Barnardos, Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland, and ISPCC Childline.
Over the last six years, Woodie’s Heroes has already raised almost €2 million for children’s charities.
Last year, Woodie’s Heroes surpassed its target of €250,000 and raised over €417,000 despite the challenges faced by the communities around Ireland due to Covid-19.
This summer, Woodie’s will build on this success and hope to reach their goal of €500,000 thanks to the generosity of their customers and suppliers, and the support and enthusiasm of Team Woodie’s, including their colleagues in Woodie’s Carrick-on-Shannon.
