Aurivo names the Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland as Charity Partner for 2023
Aurivo Co-Operative has announced its 2023 annual charity partner as the Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland. Over the next 12 months, Aurivo employees will organise fundraising events for the Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland as part of the co-op’s Charity of the Year Programme, with Aurivo matching all funds raised by these efforts.
This year, Aurivo is targeting €40,000 worth of donations for the charity, which provides dementia-specific services and supports in communities across Ireland, and advocates for those living with dementia, and their families and carers.
The Aurivo Charity of the Year partnership was introduced in 2007 to support charity organisations throughout Ireland and to help raise much needed funds to support the continuation of essential services for these worthy causes. Since then, Aurivo has partnered with 16 charity organisations, including Make a Wish, Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind and Irish Wheelchair Association, which has raised more than €580,000.
Aurivo staff members, stakeholders and customers will unite to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland, with their team of over 650 employees and a network of 34 stores, 4 livestock marts, production plants and headquarters, all getting involved in the programme. Fundraising initiatives throughout the year will include stationary bike cycles, 5km walks or runs, golf classics, raffles, and coffee mornings.
Commenting on the announcement, Donal Tierney, Chief Executive, Aurivo, said: “This year marks the 17th year of the Aurivo Charity of the Year partnership, a programme I am personally very proud of. This year we have selected the Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland and we look forward to raising much needed funds for the organisation.
“The Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland is a non-profit organisation that is instrumental in providing care and support services to those affected by dementia in Ireland. With some 64,000 people in Ireland living with dementia, and 11,000 new cases identified each year, the Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland plays a role in almost every community in Ireland. This commitment to communities is something that is shared by Aurivo, which makes the Alzheimer’s Society an ideal charity partner for us for the year ahead. We hope that our fundraising efforts will help them to continue their excellent work in empowering and championing the rights of people living with dementia and enabling their communities to provide the quality care and services that they deserve.”
Welcoming the partnership announcement, Mairead Dillon, Head of Fundraising, Alzheimer’s Society of Ireland said: “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Aurivo as our new charity partner. Their commitment to supporting The ASI will allow us to create a greater impact and bring positive change to people living with dementia and their families in Ireland. With every step we take in collaboration, we amplify the power of compassion and generosity, multiplying the difference we can make.”
