Pippa O’Connor launches Cups Against Cancer
Money raised through these Centra initiatives will go directly to the Irish Cancer Society’s essential services including information and support services for people throughout the country who have been affected by breast cancer. This is the seventh year Centra has supported the campaign and to date has raised over €2.8 million for the charity.
For customers who lead hectic lifestyles but are eager to support this worthy cause, simply text CENTRA to 50300 to donate €4* to the Irish Cancer Society.
