TESCO in Manor West and Abbey Court, Tralee will join other stores around the country in hope of raising funds for Temple Street by hosting Ireland’s Big Bake Sale from 11am – 6pm on Friday, April 15.

They have called on shoppers and burgeoning bakers to show their support for the Great Irish Bake by popping in to their local store to buy a sweet treat for one day only.

Shoppers can help their local store colleagues in their effort to raise hundreds and thousands in funding by making a small donation in return for some home-baked goodies from buns and brownies, to masterful cake creations.

Denise Fitzgerald, Chief Executive, Temple Street Fundraising explained: “We’re delighted that Tesco are on board again this year as sponsors of the Great Irish Bake. Tesco colleagues have been incredibly supportive of the hospital and we can’t wait to see what they’ve planned for their bake sales on April 15.”

“The funds raised at the Great Irish Bake will go to support the amazing work our doctors and nurses do in treating over 145,000 sick children who attend Temple Street every year from right across the country. So please get involved and bake, buy or sell some goodies for the children in Temple Street.” she said.
