Shaws have proudly partnered with Children’s Health Foundation since 2019, raising vital, life-saving funds for sick children and their families through the dedication and support of our customers, staff members and suppliers.When partnering with Children’s Health Foundation, we originally aimed to raise €30,000 over two years for the sick children and their families who are cared for in CHI at Crumlin.Not long after the charity partnership began, the Covid-19 pandemic saw all Shaws’ stores closed for 20 weeks in 2020, which had a severe effect on the ability of the Shaws team members to raise funds for our chosen cause. Once the worst of the lockdown was over, Shaws decided to extend their partnership with Children’s Health Foundation to counteract the time their stores had spent closed.Since then, Shaws staff across the county have kicked their fundraising initiatives into high-gear, holding numerous staff-led charity events including bakes sales, head shaves, hair-waxing, fitness challenges, tea & coffee mornings, Christmas jumper days, creating Shaws charity calendars, assault courses and even abseiling 150 feet from the top of Croke Park’s iconic Hogan Stand.We are proud to say that we have smashed our €30,000 target in that time and raised over €100,000 to support the sick children and families. This milestone could not have been reached without the steadfast support, generosity and kindness of our incredible customers.
