Circle K Christmas charity initiative raises €40,000 for Jack and Jill

CIRCLE K announced that their Christmas charity initiative raised €40,000 in much-needed funds for the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation. The initiative, which took place at Circle K sites nationwide, excluding Circle K Express, saw €1 from every car- wash purchased between from December 19-24 donated to the children’s charity. Through the support of Circle K customers and colleagues, the funds raised will provide 2,222 hours of vital home nursing care to over 400 children currently under the care of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation right across the country.

“We are delighted to have built on the success of last year’s initiative by exceeding our fundraising target and raising €40,000 in much-needed funds for the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation,” said Judy Glover, Senior Market Director at Circle K Ireland. “The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation carry out such important work to help families under their care across the country, and this donation wouldn’t be possible without the support of our colleagues, customers, and campaign ambassador, Stephanie Roche. From all at Circle K, we would like to thank everyone who supported the fundraising initiative this Christmas.”

Soccer star and broadcaster Stephanie Roche, who officially launched the fundraising initiative, concluded: “I was delighted to support Circle K and the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation on this initiative, and I am thrilled to hear how much money was raised in just a week. The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation provide such an important service to families and this donation ensures that they can continue to support those who need it most. Well done to all who donated to this cause.”
