Two Woodie’s stores in Galway have celebrated the wrap-up of another successful Woodie’s Heroes campaign this week, raising over €14,500 for four children’s charities.
Woodie’s Wellpark raised €8,227 and Woodie’s Headford Road raised €6,520 with help from customers, colleagues and suppliers.
One hundred percent of funds raised will be split equally between 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 for Irish children’s charities, with this year’s fundraising expected to see that figure grow closer to €3.5 million.
Customers donated throughout the campaign by adding a donation in-store at the till, online at woodies.ie or by text.
The team at Woodie’s Wellpark and Headford Road were overjoyed by the generosity and support shown to them during the campaign by their local community and wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of those that donated.
After four weeks of fundraising, it was a proud moment for the colleagues in-store when they presented the cheques.
