Circle K has launched a new charity fundraising initiative called ‘You Give, We Give’ in stores nationwide, excluding Circle K Express sites. All proceeds raised from the initiative will go directly to Children’s Health Foundation Temple Street and Crumlin.

For the month of December, all customers who purchase a Simply Great Coffee in a Circle K store (excluding Circle K Express) will be invited to donate 10c extra to the price. Circle K will match every donation made and at least €40,000 in much needed funds will be raised for Children’s Health Foundation by the end of the month.

Children’s Health Foundation, which was founded in 2019, brings the existing hospital foundations together and raises funds for the lifesaving work that the teams at CHI hospitals and urgent care centres do every day. From funding essential equipment, patient and parental supports to producing new paediatric research and services like new incubators, ward upgrades, music and play therapy activities, the donations that the Children’s Health Foundation receives from the public makes this possible.

“Covid-19 has had a detrimental impact on the charity sector this year and organisations like the Children’s Health Foundation need our support more than ever, so we are delighted to extend our help to such an important cause,” said Eadaoin Keane, senior marketing manager at Circle K Ireland.

‘’We are thrilled to gain the support of Circle K, an iconic brand that do so much to support communities nationwide,” added Denise Fitzgerald, chief executive of the Children’s Health Foundation. “I would like to extend a big thank you to Circle K staff across Ireland for driving the ‘You Give, We Give’ initiative as this campaign will make a big difference to CHI patients and their families, reminding them of the support and kindness of others on their treatment journey,” she said. “Thank you so much to everyone involved’’.

Broadcaster Maia Dunphy who was on hand at Circle K City Avenue today to officially launch the ‘You Give, We Give’ initiative, said she was delighted to lend her support to the “fantastic” campaign.
