€4,500 Raised for Action Breast Cancer

Barry Packaging is delighted to be able to make this donation to the Irish Cancer Society on behalf of their customers who got behind our Pink Ribbon Carrier Bag Campaign.

The Campaign has been run for 2 years and we are delighted to have raised €4,500 from the Sale of our Pink Ribbon Carrier Bags. Over 20,000 Bags have been sold since September 2011.

Eamonn Barry, Managing Director, Barry Packaging said, “Action Breast Cancer is a charity close to everybody’s heart and we are delighted with the response we received from our customers over the last 2 years. We wanted to do something different for Charity and being in the Carrier Bag business this was a great way for us to get directly involved.”

The Kerry Branch of the Irish Cancer Society, Chris Griffin said, “We are delighted to except this cheque from Barry Packaging and would like to thank all the retailers who participated in the Campaign. The much valued funds will help fund research to find new therapies to prevent breast cancer, better techniques to diagnose it accurately and new treatments to ultimately cure it.”
