The Nationwide Santa Bear Appeal is the Clinic's biggest annual fundraising event.
The Appeal takes place annually from 1st to 11th December when we ask people to "BUY a BEAR and SHOW you CARE"
We have a variety of Santa Bear products, mini bear and a Large Raffle Bear, something for everyone! Badges, key covers, Santa Bear Pens come in boxes of 25 and each item sells for just €2 each. Mini bears cost €5 each. Raffle lines cost just €2 each. (A minimum return of €100 is required)
How can you help?
You can help by selling bears from your home to family friends and neighbours
Bring a box of Santa Bear Products to work or organise a raffle in your workplace and encourage colleagues and customers to "Buy a Bear and Show they Care"
Get together with a few friends and sell bears at your local shopping Centre or Supermarket.
Ask your local publican or shopkeeper to raffle a Santa Bear.
Alternatively, you can simply buy a Santa Bear product for €2 and help us reach our target.
We are always looking for volunteers so if you would like to be a part of this year's Santa Bear Appeal, please call the Fundraising Department on 1800 612 612 or email us on santabear@crc.ie

Thank you to our valued volunteers for your support of the 2010 Santa Bear Appeal Campaign.
Christmas may appear a long way off but already the CRC is preparing for the 2011 campaign. Can you offer your support once again or perhaps join our volunteers for the first time this year?
Schools throughout Ireland have been wonderful and organised collections days with Transition Year Students. Already the Clinic has secured dates nationwide for this year's appeal and the Fundraising Department would love to hear from You!
Could your class support the campaign and sell Santa Bear Badges, Keyrings, and mini-bears to raise much needed funds for the CRC nationwide from 1st to 11th of December?
The colourful bears will also be on sale in local shops, pubs, restaurants and workplaces throughout the country before these dates, for a minimum donation of just €2, so the CRC is appealing to everyone to lend their support by buying a bear.
The Santa Bear Appeal is an important fundraising event for the CRC and the Clinic values all the support it can receive. With hundreds of bears to sell throughout the country, the CRC would welcome people's time and assistance in this valuable cause.
A limited number of a large Raffle Bear is also available for raffling in pubs, clubs, shops and in the workplace for a minimum return of €100.
Anyone who has some time to spare or who is a proprietor of an outlet and would be willing to help out by taking a box of 50 bears to sell, should contact the Fundraising Department on freephone 1800 612 612, or email at santabear@crc.ie and they'll be happy to process your order.
The Clinic relies very much on the support it receives from this appeal each year, which enables it to continue providing the standard of care and services that its clients need and value so greatly.
