Over €2,000 was raised in just three hours at the Mont Clare Hotel in Merrion Square on Friday (4th April) in aid of Temple Street Children’s Hospital.

 

It was the O’Callaghan Hotel group contribution to The Great Irish Bake for Temple Street event as the hospital encouraged people to bake and raise funds.

 

A total of 200 cakes, 50 each baked at the group’s four Dublin hotels; Mont Clare, Alexander, Davenport and Stephen’s Green, were purchased by members of the public between 10.30am and 1.30pm on Friday.

 

The proceeds will go towards three OmniBed incubators for premature and newborn babies fighting for life

 

Temple Street Children's Hospital is one of the O'Callaghan Hotels selected charities for 2014.

 

In its first partnership earlier year the hotel group donated €5,000 to fund a complete infusion pump for the neonatal ward at the hospital.
