TEN Centra stores in Clare have helped raise over half a million euro for the Irish Cancer Society’s Action Breast Cancer in 2012. This is Centra’s third year providing nationwide support of the charity, with all funds raised going to provide information, advice and support services for women with breast cancer
Jones’ Centra Miltown Malbay, Rodger’s Centra Scariff, Ryan’s Centra Clonroadmore Ennis, Lynch’s Centra Gort Road Ennis, Deasy’s Centra Clarecastle, Crowe’s Centra Sixmilebridge, Donnellan’s Centra Loughville, Michael’s Centra Kildysert, O’Keeffe’s Centra Tulla Road Ennis and Johnston’s Centra in Kilmihil joined forces with Centra stores nationwide in October 2012 and generated the much-needed funds through a dynamic fundraising campaign.
Crowds of people took steps to raise funds and awareness through 80 Pink Umbrella Walks which took place throughout Ireland and contributed over €145,000 to the overall campaign.
Jones’ Centra in Miltown Malbay held a local community walk and raised almost €4,000 for the charity through this fundraising initiative.
A host of other initiatives added to the overall figure including Centra own brand pink milk and pink flowers, as well as local community events such as coffee mornings, fashion shows and fancy dress balls. Through the ‘Get the Girls Round’ initiative, women rallied together in their droves and hosted over 600 girls’ nights in, in aid of the charity.
