Circle K has announced that it has extended its partnership with the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation for another year.
The now three-year partnership with the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation will see at least €500,000 raised for the charity through several fundraising campaigns at participating sites nationwide.
The announcement also marks €370,000 raised to date by Circle K for the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.
The funds have been raised through various campaigns such as ‘Miles for Jack and Jill’ and the brand’s annual Christmas car wash initiative, where €1 from every car wash sale the week before Christmas is donated to the charity.
These campaigns have resulted in the provision of over 20,000 hours of in-home nursing care and respite support to the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation to date.
Commenting on the funds raised, Ciara Foxton, managing director, Circle K Ireland, said: “Reaching this crucial fundraising milestone would not have been possible without our customers, colleagues, and dealer partners and I would like to thank them for all their ongoing support.
“Customers can continue to help us in our fundraising efforts for the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation in the months to come by supporting several fundraising initiatives, and we will be announcing more details of those campaigns soon.”
