Louth Woodie's colleagues raise over €18,500 for 2023 Woodie’s Heroes Campaign

Woodie’s Dundalk, Woodie's Drogheda and Woodie's Drogheda E-Store celebrated the wrap-up of the ninth annual Woodie’s Heroes campaign this week.

All three stores raised a remarkable amount and 100% of funds raised will be divided equally among ISPCC Childline, Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland, Down Syndrome Ireland, and Make-A-Wish Ireland.  

Woodie's Dundalk raised €10,008, Woodie's Drogheda raised €7,676 and Woodie's Drogheda E-Store raised €1,000, with help from customers, colleagues and suppliers for four children’s charities. 

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 teams at Woodie’s Dundalk, Drogheda and Drogheda E-Store were overjoyed by the generosity and support shown to them during the campaign by their local community and say they 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 charities – ISPCC Childline, Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland, Down Syndrome Ireland, and Make-A-Wish Ireland.
