IKEA Dublin customers show their ‘soft side’ & raised €56,907 for UNICEF Ireland
27 February 2012: UNICEF Ireland today annouced that thanks to the generosity of IKEA Dublin customers and the support of IKEA Dublin co-workers, over €56,000 was raised by the annual IKEA Soft Toy Campaign for UNICEF Ireland.
Showing their ‘soft side’, IKEA Dublin donated €1 to UNICEF Ireland for every soft toy, kid’s meal or children’s book purchased between October 24th and December 23rd 2011. This notable donation from Ireland will now help support eighteen UNICEF educational projects in seven African countries and two projects in Russia and China.
Teddy bears and cuddly toys of all shapes and sizes came out to play in IKEA Dublin during November and December as the campaign got underway. The appeal was supported by UNICEF Ireland Ambassadors Donncha O’Callaghan & Dustin the Turkey (view their video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwRYGDSKjfk ), as well as co-workers and customers, who participated in a variety of money raising teddy bear themed adventures. During the 2011 campaign the “Give Twice” incentive was introduced, allowing customers to double their support for charity by donating their soft toys to a number of local charities.
Paul Reid, Store Manager, IKEA Dublin said: “IKEA Dublin would like to say a big thank you to all our customers for their support and generous contribution to the IKEA Soft Toy Campaign 2011. It is a great way for everyone to contribute not only to the local community but also to thousands of children across the globe’.
Peter Power, Executive Director of UNICEF Ireland, said “Today, as we announce the success of our 2011 Soft Toy Campaign with IKEA Dublin, I would like to express our appreciation and gratitude to IKEA co-workers and IKEA customers in Ireland for making the campaign such a success. Because of your generosity and the support and generosity of IKEA customers and stores across the world, 5.5 million children in Africa will now receive a better education. In the last three years, over €150,000 has been raised here in Ireland through the Soft Toy Appeal for UNICEF’s work and these incredible results make us very proud of this partnership."
Globally, the 2011 UNICEF, Save the Children and the IKEA Soft Toy Campaign raised a total of €12.4 million for UNICEF. Since the partnership began in 2003, it has raised just over €47.6 million which has helped improve the lives of more than eight million children in 45 countries. With this year’s additional donation, even more children are now being given the most precious gift of all – the right to an education
