One4all, Ireland’s leading gift card company, has announced that since its Shop4Crumlin initiative first launched seven years ago, over €225,000 has been raised for Children’s Health Foundation Crumlin which raises vital funds to support sick children and their families in CHI at Crumlin.
Taking place each September, when a One4all Gift Card or Digital Gift Card is used in any of its 11,000 retail partners in-store or online during Shop4Crumlin week, One4all donates 50c to Children’s Health Foundation Crumlin’s Giggle Fund at CHI at Crumlin for every transaction made. This year, Argos, Life Style Sports, River Island, Currys PC World and New Look also supported the campaign by donating an additional 50c, bringing the total to €1 every time a One4all was spent with them in-store or online.
All funds raised during One4all Shop4Crumlin week each year go directly to Children’s Health Foundation Crumlin’s Giggle Fund, a fund dedicated to bringing smiles to the patients in CHI at Crumlin. At least 150,000 children attend CHI at Crumlin every year for l care and support and the Giggle Fund aims to create moments of joy for the patients such as organising birthday parties, pizza nights and surprise gifts.
Commenting on the success of the Shop4Crumlin initiative, Aoife Davey, Senior Marketing Director at One4all said: “We are thrilled to announce that since Shop4Crumlin began seven years ago, One4all Gift Card holders have helped us raise €225,000 for Children’s Health Foundation Crumlin’s Giggle Fund. Continuing to support the Giggle Fund, an incredibly worthy cause that brings joy to thousands of patients in CHI at Crumlin, is very important to us. We are so grateful to everyone who supported the campaign again this year, including those who used their One4all Gift Cards and Digital Gift Cards during Shop4Crumlin week, all our 11,000 retail and online partners, and the five retailers who generously matched our donations’.
Ruth Guy, Director of Fundraising, Marketing and Communications at Children’s Health Foundation added: ‘’We are delighted to complete another successful Shop4Crumlin campaign with our amazing partners One4all. Since the beginning of our partnership in 2015, they have raised over €225,000 for Children’s Health Foundation Crumlin's Giggle Fund, which helps make hospital stays a little more fun for sick children and their families by funding play activities, special events, toys, treats and so much more besides. One4all's phenomenal support has brought a smile to the faces of thousands of children who visit CHI at Crumlin each and every year.”
