Supporting Our Charity Partner

This Christmas, Avoca is very proud to work with The Gavin Glynn Foundation, our new charity partner. The Gavin Glynn Foundation helps families of children battling cancer to travel overseas for treatment not available in Ireland and believes that all children with cancer deserve the best care, wherever in the world that might be.
