Killarney charity Green Wave raised €17,512.41
The Green Wave, an initiative set up to support frontline staff during the COVID-19 outbreak, has exceeded its €500 fundraising target and raised €17,512.41.
The Green Wave was set up by the team at Elite Event Management in Killarney to help show frontline staff an outpouring of gratitude and support from the public to bolster their resilience. The initiative saw nearly 9000 coffees delivered to hospitals and other frontlines locations across the country, in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Louth, Kerry and Wexford.
Staff in hospitals, care homes, fire stations and Garda Stations received these hot drinks over the past eight weeks while on shift during the crisis. The initiative aimed to help support local coffee shops too by enlisting them to make and deliver the coffees to the frontline.
Kelly Crichton, Founder of the Green Wave said, “We set out nine weeks ago to recognise those working on the frontline, their hardwork and their sacrifice; and to show our gratitude and care for them. We did that together with more than 800 donors. I want to thank each and every person who donated for stepping up and showing these wonderful people that what they are doing is being recognised and we that we are all grateful.
“We had so much great help and support setting up this initiative, I want to thank all the suppliers, designers, artists, companies and others who helped us achieve this.
“There are so many wonderful charities out there who are struggling so it is our time to step back. We hope the spirit of this initiative will live on in the kind gestures we can continue to show to those who are working on the frontline.”
