The members of the Clanwilliam Pharmacist Awards Committee are delighted to present to the Pharmacy Benevolent Fund the total sum of €90,156.50. This is the total sum of proceeds raised from the Awards ceremony in November and is a record amount for the Awards’ ten year history.
Eileen Byrne, Managing Director of Clanwilliam Health commented on the significance of the donation: “Clanwilliam Health are delighted to head and support such an initiative that not only recognises and awards excellence in the field of pharmacy but that also helps in providing financial aid to individuals in the Irish pharmacist community. The 2016 Awards were our biggest yet and proved to be a fantastic evening of celebration; we hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did”.
The Pharmacy Benevolent Fund supports members of the pharmacist community in need of assistance. In the past, the Benevolent Fund has provided support to a variety of recipients in need, from those unable to work following an illness or unexpected death of a family member to those requiring financial aid after retirement. The Benevolent Fund also extends its support beyond the pharmacy community and includes cases from members and their families across the Healthcare Industry as a whole
Ultan Molloy, Chairperson of the Awards Committee thanked all those that made this donation possible: “On behalf of the Committee, we would like to sincerely thank all those that supported the 2016 Awards, especially our sponsors, the attendees on the night and the Awards committee that worked tirelessly behind the scenes. This is a significant sum and a great achievement that will make a monumental difference to the lives of less fortunate colleagues and those associated with pharmacy.”
