Hollister Ballina employees pledge support through a monthly fundraising draw.

We are delighted to announce a three-year partnership with Hollister Ballina, a global healthcare company and the Sunflower Children’s Hospice, the first children’s hospice to serve the Western Seaboard.

As a part of this partnership, Hollister Ballina employees have pledged to support the Sunflower Children’s Hospice through a monthly employee fundraising draw over the next three years.

The announcement coincides with Hollister celebrating 50 years of operations in Ballina. The MedTech manufacturer first opened its Ballina facility in 1976 and now employs close to 1,000 people at its County Mayo site, which specialises in the production of Ostomy and Continence Care products.

Shane Caher, Sr. Director Plant Operations & General Manager of Hollister said:

‘’At Hollister ULC Ballina, our values guide not just the work we do, but how we care for people. As a team focused every day on improving comfort and quality of life, we feel a deep connection to our community and to the compassionate care the Sunflower Children’s Hospice will provide to patients and families at such an important time. This unique partnership is especially meaningful because it was driven by our associates – people who wanted to make a real difference in their own community. It is something we are truly proud to stand behind.’’

Martina Jennings, CEO Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation said:

“Hollister have been part of the Ballina community for 50 years, and we are truly grateful that they have chosen to support the Sunflower Children’s Hospice for the next three years. Their patient-centred approach to healthcare aligns closely with our own values, and this partnership will make a real and lasting difference to the lives of children and families who rely on our care.

I would like to sincerely thank all of the employees at Hollister who take part in the monthly draw, their generosity brings us a significant step closer to making the vision of Sunflower Children’s Hospice a reality.”
