Cork-based clothing company to raise money for children's charity
A Cork-based clothing company have teamed up with Walt Disney Studios Ireland to raise money for a charity looking after sick children.
Hairy Baby owner and founder Daragh Murphy has announced that they will sell special edition t-shirts to coincide with the release of Toy Story 4 in order to raise money for the Children's Medical and Research Foundation, the fundraising charity for the National Children's Research Centre and Children's Health Ireland, based in Crumlin.
The charity will get all the profits made from sales of the €17 unisex t-shirts, Mr Murphy announced.
“We’re proud to link up once more with our friends at Walt Disney Studios Ireland to design a limited edition 'chari-tee' special to celebrate the release of the fantastic family adventure, Toy Story 4 in cinemas,” he said.
CMRF Crumlin welcomed this as they said they are heavily reliant on "corporate donations and partnerships".
