Doing it for the kids
Oracle’s Walk of the Onesie’s for Temple Street Children’s Hospital was the brainchild of Cloud CX Sales Leader Crevan O’Malley and Senior Director, Daniela Becker, and is just one of the organisation’s many CSR initiatives. “A CSR focus has always featured high on the radar for Oracle teams,” O’Malley explains. “Oracle has been in Dublin for a quite a while now, and we wanted to continue to build on positive solid community relationships already in place, while making a material and lasting contribution to a local charity.”
Point Business Park to the coastal town of Howth. “We have raised €65,000 in total and all of these funds have contributed directly to vital patient services programmes.”
Brave walkers have the inclement Irish weather to contend with, highlights Temple Street Foundation, CEO Denise Fitzgerald. “We are so grateful to Oracle staff for stepping out in their gorgeous onesies for Temple Street, year after year. It was no mean feat this March in the rough weather, but they really went above and
relationships already in place, while making a material and lasting contribution to a local charity.”
The company chose to collaborate with Temple Street Hospital. “We’re very aware of the challenging financial circumstances every publicly funded healthcare facility finds itself in today. We met the Hospital Fundraising team and felt strongly that our contributions should go towards Patient Services-specific programmes aimed at making a child’s stay a little more enjoyable. In our first year, we funded the hospital pet dog, Buttons, making ward visits once a week.”
The success of the initiative lies in its simplicity: Oracle employees don their finest pyjama onesie and walk 15km from their offices in East

beyond despite the grey skies. These funds will make a real and lasting difference for Temple Street children and their families.”
As well as raising much-needed funds, the initiative has built goodwill within the organisation, says O’Malley. “It’s provided a positive cross-department opportunity for teams to meet, mix and build relationships. It’s benefited these internal teams hugely, and it’s provided lots of fun as people compete with each other to raise as much funds as possible for such a worthy cause. This initiative will continue as more people each year want to get involved.”
