Penneys and The Late Late Toy Show collaborate in aid of Temple Street Children’s Hospital
This November, Penneys and RTÉ are delighted to release a limited edition Late Late Toy Show Christmas jumper and loungewear range, with €2 from every item sold being donated to the Temple Street Foundation.
The Late Late Toy Show festive range will be on sale in Penneys stories nationwide, plus at the RTÉ online shop (www.rte.ie/shop), just in time for the nation’s most treasured night in front of the TV – Friday, 27th November.
To celebrate the release of this special Christmas collection, rising stars HomeTown paid a very special visit to Temple Street Children’s Hospital this week. Louis Walsh’s newest boy band delighted the hospital’s little patients and spread some festive cheer in their Late Late Toy Show jumpers.
Shoppers wanting to support this great cause can get their hands on novelty jumpers (Adults – €20, Kids – €15) or fun loungewear sets (Mens – €15, Ladies – €14, Kids – €10) featuring the iconic Late Late Toy Show Owl, getting you and your family into the festive spirit as the Christmas season kicks off with The Late Late Toy Show.
Speaking about the collaboration, CEO of The Temple Street Foundation, Denise Fitzgerald, said, “We are thrilled and hugely grateful to be part of The Late Late Toy Show excitement as RTÉ and Penneys launch The Late Late Toy Show festive jumpers and loungewear sets in aid of Temple Street. The Toy Show is a beloved national institution and many of our little patients will be watching from their hospital beds on 27th November. We are so grateful to RTÉ and Penneys for choosing us. All funds donated will go directly towards making life better for Temple Street’s patients and their families.”
The Late Late Toy Show Christmas jumper and loungewear collection is available now from Penneys stores nationwide. The range is also available to Toy Show fans at home and abroad through the RTÉ online shop www.rte.ie/shop
