The Hayfield Family Collection, owners of the Great Southern, Killarney Royal, and Hayfield Manor, has announced Breakthrough Cancer Research as its official charity partner for 2025.

The partnership will focus on fundraising and awareness campaigns to support Breakthrough Cancer Research's mission to improve outcomes for cancers with limited treatment options.
Michael Jacobi, Managing Director of the Collection, stated the partnership aligns with their social responsibility values, noting the widespread impact of cancer.
"We are proud to announce our official partnership with the team at Breakthrough Cancer Research, which aligns with our value of embracing and nurturing our social responsibilities. The work they do is incredibly important, there wouldn’t be many of us who haven’t been affected by this disease, directly or indirectly. As a company, we take great pride in supporting our community, and this partnership marks the next step in our more focused efforts to raise funds and awareness. We look forward to working closely with Dick White and the Breakthrough Cancer Research team on various initiatives as we strive to reach our fundraising goals and support their vital mission."
Orla Dolan, CEO of Breakthrough Cancer Research, added: ‘We are immensely grateful to the Hayfield Family Collection for choosing Breakthrough Cancer Research as their official charity partner. Partnerships like this are essential in accelerating our research efforts. The commitment and enthusiasm shown by the Hayfield Family Collection team will not only raise vital funds but also help us share our message of hope. Together, we can continue making strides in our mission to Make More Survivors of cancer in our communities.’
