Connect with The Rose Project
Posted in charity, ladies, marketing by connector on November 28th, 2008
Well done to Mary Rose Lyons on her great work for The Rose Project which is now live online. Mary Rose has been at the Connector Events and even plugged The Rose Project at ‘Connector 4′ in The Odessa Club Nov 14th and we hope it raises lots of badly needed funds.
This is a very progressive charity with web presences on Youtube, Twitter, Facebook & their own Blog.
Connector hopes to be able to raise some funds for The Rose Project at our ‘Christmas Connector’ and in the meantime, why not suppport them by buying their very own special designer Christmas wrapping paper ?
The Rose Project Gift Wrap
Five key Irish designers have joined forces this year in a unique fundraising initiative for The Rose Project, marking the launch of a new ‘Mother to Child Campaign’ and the fifth anniversary of this Irish AIDS humanitarian organisation by Mary Donohoe.
John Rocha, Helen Cody, Aideen Bodkin, Fiona Hanley and Maree Hensey have each designed a print for gift wrapping paper that will go on sale throughout the country from December 1 2008.
Compiling five unique and signature designs from each designer, this pack of gift wrapping paper includes five large sheets of recycled paper produced and printed in Ireland. The giftwrap is suitable for use throughout the year, and available to buy at €5 from key retailers in Ireland including Clerys, Arnotts, Brown Thomas, Reads, Hughes and Hughes and leading fashion boutiques Khan and Diffusion.
Maryrose Lyons says:
Hey thanks Conor for all your support. Thanks fellow Connectors too. It is indeed a great charity. Anyone read Colm Toibin’s (booker prize winning) “The Blackwater Lighthouse”? Although not a book about AIDS per se, it describes someone’s pain and suffering and really brings home the full horror of the illness. I couldn’t help thinking about little kids who die this way. Luckily, and thanks to The Rose Project, more and more women are being reached during pregnancy and the risk of transmitting the virus can be reduced from 58% to 2&.
