Maxol customers raise €62,000 for charity Aware

€62,000 has been raised by Maxol’s customers on the run up to Christmas for charity Aware.

The latest figure brings the total funds raised by Maxol to €120,000 for 2018.

Getting onboard with Maxol’s ROSA coffee charity campaign meant that a 10-cent donation was made for every purchase of Maxol’s exclusive ROSA coffee, as well as tea and other hot drinks, in November and December 2018.

Maxol’s fresh, quality ROSA coffee has been a hit with local customers and commuters alike and the two-month campaign saw their target donation of €60,000 exceeded. It follows a number of successful fundraising drives run by Maxol including a ‘top up your purchase’ initiative in August 2018 which raised a further €25,000.

Drew Flood, Business Development Executive at Aware said:

“This is an incredible amount to raise in such a short period of time and we are very grateful for the opportunity to work with Maxol, and its independent retailers that are at the heart of so many communities right across the country. Corporate donations and fundraising account for 75% of our annual funding so we really depend on the generosity of organisations like Maxol to provide the important free of charge services that we deliver throughout the country. Our services focus on supporting those affected by depression and bipolar disorder but also on delivering information and education programmes to empower people to look after their mental health and work towards preventing mental illness. We would like to thank Maxol for recognising the important work of Aware and helping us to continue to provide services that make a real difference in people’s lives.”
