TESCO has announced that due to popular demand, Cedric teddy bears will be available in Tesco stores in Tralee and nationwide from Saturday, December 1 for €5 in aid of Temple Street Children’s University Hospital.

As seen on ‘The Late Late Toy Show’ last night, the tale of Cedric being lost in a Tesco store and becoming a Service Superstar, has captured the hearts and minds of many, with customers and colleagues seeking a Cedric of their own.

The good news is that Tesco customers and colleagues can now get their very own Cedric from Saturday, while stocks last. Each Cedric purchased will help Tesco reach their target of raising €4million in 4 years for the children’s hospital.

Cedric was brought to life with the help of five-year-old Temple Street patient Lewis Evans from Co. Donegal, who participated in a Tesco colouring competition during a visit to the hospital and won the honour of naming this very special bear.

To celebrate the launch of the Cedric teddy bears, a special team of Tesco elves made a surprise visit to Temple Street this week to make sure that every little Temple Street hero was given their very own Cedric teddy bear.

This weekend, Tesco stores across the country will be hosting Festive Fun Days over the weekend of Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd December, selling Cedric teddy bears, hosting cake sales, offering face painting and much more all in aid of Temple Street.

Since 2014, with the support of its colleagues and customers Tesco Ireland has raised €3.9 million for Temple Street. By selling Cedric in stores and hosting these Festive Fun Days, Tesco is aiming to reach over €4 million raised in 4 years for the little heroes of Temple Street.

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.”

So please get involved and bake, buy or sell some goodies for the children in Temple Street.” she said.
