The generous donation by the LA Galaxy Foundation and their sponsors Herbalife will go a long in sustaining and building on the terrific work carried out at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin.
The donation will go towards funding a number of “urgent projects” at the hospital as well as funding crucial paediatric research at the National Children’s Research Centre for whom CMRF Crumlin also raises funds for.
“It’s terrific to come here today and make this donation with my teammates on behalf of the LA Galaxy Foundation and our sponsors Herbalife,” Robbie said today.
“My family is from Crumlin, and Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital is a very special place for me so it is wonderful to be involved.
