CORPORATE GIVING
The corporate sector continues to make a significant contribution to Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin and The Children’s Research Centre. There are many ways that companies can work in partnership with us, including sponsorship, cause related marketing and one-off donations.
Companies currently supporting Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin:
Musgraves - Musgraves Retail Partners Ireland have been raising money for OLCHC since 2002. Over the past six years Musgraves have raised €2.2 million for OLCHC. In January 2007 Mr Donal Horgan, Managing Director Musgrave presented €400,000 towards the development of a new play therapy. The funds were the result of the annual Musgrave triathlon, held in Farran Woods in County Cork. Donal Horgan, MD, MSVC said: "We are delighted that the Triathlon has raised this amazing amount of money over the last six years, and that it is used in providing such vital cancer care services in the Children's Hospital. A visit to the hospital for our cheque presentation every year really puts into context how fortunate the majority of us are to be healthy, and shows us that all the training and fundraising by suppliers and staff around the Super Valu and Centra business really does make a difference in children's cancer treatment".
