Topaz raises over €280k for Aware

Topaz customers and staff have raised over €280k in the past two years for their charity partner Aware, writes Trish Whelan.

As well as fundraising, the partnership aims to promote positive mental health and to highlight the important services that Aware provides.

In September alone, Topaz staff nationwide raised over €17,000 through a variety of fundraisers for Aware's 'Beat the Blues Campaign'. Topaz brand ambassador Alan Quinlan, who has himself experienced depression, was on hand in Cashel recently to support staff in their fundraising efforts.

Five year old John Fitzgerald from New Inn is pictured with his dad - also John - making a donation to the former Munster and Ireland rugby international.
