Aurivo ceo Aaron Forde; Aurivo
chairman, Tom Cunniffe; Aurivo Donegal board member,
Billy McMahon and Aurivo vice chair, Michael Brennan
present a cheque to Geraldine Casey, treasurer,
Donegal Hospice. Aurivo’s Charity of the Year for
2015 is Pieta House which will directly support the
establishment of a Pieta House suicide and self harm
crisis centre in Co Donegal. |
The money was raised as
employees of the co-operative took part in a number
of fundraisers.
Aurivo ceo, Aaraon Forde, said: “The Charity of the
Year programme is an important element for Aurivo as
we believe it is vital to give back to the
communities that support our business. By getting
our staff involved in fun, local events, we were
able to raise vital funds for local hospices, which
is a cause close to so many people’s hearts.” |
