THE Jack & Jill Foundation is set to gain to the tune of €70,000, courtesy of funding from KBC Bank. The newly announced partnership sees the bank matching €35,000 raised by its employees for the Irish children’s charity, with the funds to support a new pilot scheme to extend home nursing care to 4-6 year olds.
Pictured at the announcement were some of the employees who had raised the funds, together with (centre) Jonathan Irwin, chief executive, The Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation; Wim Verbraeken, chief executive, KBC Bank Ireland and Conor McGowan, chair of KBC’s community team, which drives employee fundraising for the foundation.
