Pictured above: Fairy godmother Miriam O'Callaghan casts her magic over cowboy Jake Shanley & doctor Rachel Stevenson both aged 4 alongside Brian Donaldson, Maxol Group's Chief Operating Officer to mark the launch of Maxol and Make-A-Wish partnership.
Today, Monday 8th April 2013 The Maxol Group announced that they will partner with the Make-A-Wish Foundation as their new charity of the year. The aim of the partnership is to support the charitable work of Make-A-Wish Ireland in granting wishes to children between the ages of 3 and 17 years who are living with life threatening medical conditions.
This Friday 12th April, Maxol will commence its support of the charity by taking part in Make-A-Wish Day. This nationwide event celebrates Make-A-Wish Ireland's 21st anniversary and aims to raise much needed funds to continue to grant wishes to children in every corner of Ireland and increase awareness of the charity. As part of the campaign, Make-A-Wish wristbands will be sold in all participating Maxol service stations throughout the country.
Commenting at the launch, Brian Donaldson, Chief Operating Officer of The Maxol Group, said, "Maxol is very proud to be associated with Make-A-Wish, a charity that genuinely adds magic to the lives of children suffering from life threatening medical conditions. You can't fail to be touched by the extremely challenging illnesses that so many children face with great bravery and without complaint. Recognising this, Maxol retailers throughout the country have committed their full support to raising much needed funds for the charity at a local level. This compliments our objective of being 'at the heart of it' in each of the communities in which we are represented. We believe our customers will respond generously to the range of fundraising activities we plan to coordinate during the year, as these events will be collecting funds for local families with children who are unwell. We have been working closely with the team at Make-A-Wish to design dual branded marketing materials to raise awareness of the partnership and we look forward to the success of this new and worthwhile affiliation".
Commenting on Maxol's support, Susan O'Dwyer, Chief Executive, Make-A-Wish Ireland, added "We are delighted that Maxol have chosen to support Make-A-Wish as their charity partner for 2013. Make-A-Wish plan to grant 210 wishes this year, an increase of 60% on last year. As we receive no government funding, we rely entirely on the generosity of the general public and companies such as Maxol to support this wonderful charity. With Maxol's help this year we will continue to make a difference in the lives of children and their families throughout the country living with life threatening medical conditions. We look forward to working with Maxol and its retailers in their local communities throughout 2013 in their fundraising efforts".
Coinstar has committed its support to Make-A-Wish Day on Friday 12th April by agreeing to count all coins collected by volunteers in Dublin city. This support is valued greatly as it allows Make-A-Wish staff and volunteers more time to focus their efforts on vital fundraising activity.
