A €50,000 cheque has been presented to Together for Hospice by Bewley’s at an event held in Dublin.
Veronica Campbell of Bewley’s awarded the cheque to representatives from Together for Hospice in Clontarf Castle on Wednesday (Sep17).
This donation comes in addition to the €60,000 worth of coffee and essentials that Bewley’s supplies to 2,500 locations across Ireland annually for Bewley’s Big Coffee Morning for Hospice, taking place nationwide on September 25.
“On behalf of all our specialist hospice and palliative homecare providers across Ireland, Together For Hospice sincerely thanks our longstanding sponsor, Bewley’s, for its generosity and commitment to hospice care over 33 years of partnership,” said Fintan Fagan, CEO of St Francis Hospice, which received the cheque on behalf of Together for Hospice.
“Bewley’s brings innovation and dedication to each year’s event and generously contributes €50,000 to support the campaign each year.
“This supports local hospices to grow awareness of the event and importantly, raise vital funds for local hospices.
“The impact of Bewley’s support can also be felt nationwide through the provision of free coffee to each of the over 2000 coffee mornings taking place across the country every September.
“We extend a heartfelt thank you to Paddy and Veronica Campbell for their unwavering support for local hospices.”
