Two Kildare Woodie’s stores raise over €15,500 for four charities

Woodie’s Naas and Woodie's Newbridge celebrated the wrap-up of the ninth annual Woodie’s Heroes campaign last week.

Woodie’s Heroes was established in 2015 and has raised over €3 million for Irish children’s charities; this year’s fundraising is 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 Naas and Woodie's Newbridge 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.

The money raised will make a meaningful difference to the children and families who are supported by these four amazing charities – ISPCC Childline, Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland, Down Syndrome Ireland, and Make-A-Wish Ireland.
