Dell Technologies Cork team reflects on fundraising efforts for local charities in 2023

The Dell Technologies team has come together once again to support local and national communities in Ireland, with a large number of fundraising events and initiative taking place across 2023.

Across its three campuses in Cherrywood, Cork and Limerick, team members directly raised close to €400,000 for community charities throughout Ireland, and generously donated more than 48,000 hours or 6,000 work days throughout the year to causes close to their hearts.

In Cork, the Dell Technologies team supported local and national initiatives by hosting of fundraising events and sharing their time and expertise with charity partners including the BUMBLEance Children’s Ambulance Service, Age Action, Focus Ireland, Pieta, the Samaritans, and Cuanlee Women’s Refuge.

To support the vital work of Marymount University Hospital and Hospice in Cork, a team of volunteers took on a 137km cycle from the Dell Cork campus to Dingle, raising vital funds to support the exceptional work of Marymount Hospice in palliative care and support for the Cork community.

Dell Technologies continued its close relationship with Barnardos, with Dell’s Cork campus holding a music bingo fundraiser for the charity for Barnardo’s Giving Day as well as Cork site leader Bob Savage hosting Dell’s annual Special Olympics All-Ireland quiz raising €8,000 for the charity.

An annual back-to-school collection in aid of the charity was also generously supported by Cork-based team members who provided a range of school supplies from calculators to lunch boxes for children in need.

Mr Savage commented: “It’s been another incredible year at Dell Technologies in which our team members in Cork have helped transform people’s lives by unlocking the power of innovation.

“In 2024, we’ll continue to work with those within the community providing vital services to those in need both here in Cork and across the country.

“As we mark the 35 years of our campus in Cork, I’d like to extend a deep and heartfelt thank you to all our team who have made this year a year of remarkable progress, not just in the workplace, but also for those in the communities in which we live and work.”
