SPECSAVERS of Killarney has launched the second phase of its fundraising campaign for Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin with the help of some superheroes.
Model Karena Graham took on the role of Supergirl and was joined by super sidekicks Alicia Doyle as Batgirl and Conor O’Hanlon as Robin, to announce the superhero-themed fundraising.
Specsavers stores across Ireland have committed to raising €100,000 to go towards the refurbishment of the hospital’s ophthalmology unit. They have just passed the halfway mark, following successful in-store static cycles earlier this year and other fundraising activity.
To celebrate the milestone, the Killarney store at Fair Hill, will host a Superhero Family Fun Day event this Friday and Saturday.
The funds raised by Specsavers staff and customers will have an immediate impact in the ophthalmology unit for children and their families they will never know but this impact will be long-lasting.
Thomas Doyle of Specsavers Killarney, remarked: “We have always admired the fantastic work the hospital does for children across Ireland and plan to put all our efforts into reaching the €100,000 goal.”
