Ryanair Proudly Donates €10k To The Puttinu Cares Foundation Customer Scratchcard Sales Support Charity Donation

Ryanair, Europe’s no. 1 airline has today (18 Apr) donated €10,000 to its charity partner, the Puttinu Cares Foundation, to support the charity’s invaluable work of caring for sick children, adults and their families. Ryanair has been proudly working with the Puttinu Cares Foundation in Malta through its scratch card programme since 2022, and with the support of its generous customers, has so far raised €10,000 for the charity.

Ryanair’s scratch card programme has proven very popular among its Maltese customers, giving passengers the chance to win amazing prizes including luxury cars and cash prizes as well as a chance to scoop €1m in Ryanair’s annual ‘Win a Mill’ event held at the airline’s HQ in Dublin, Ireland.

Having first launched its charity scratch card programme in 2009, Ryanair has raised a grand total of €1.6m for charities throughout Europe to date.

Speaking of Ryanair’s support of the Puttinu Cares Foundation, Dara Brady, Ryanair’s Director of Marketing said:

“It is a great honour to be presenting the Puttinu Cares Foundation with this €10,000 donation, which represents the contributions of our generous customers both here in Malta and across Europe throughout the past year.

Having partnered with the Puttinu Cares Foundation since 2022, and having raised €10,000 throughout that time, we have a strong connection to this charity and our crews are hugely passionate about supporting the incredible work that they carry out in Malta.

Through our scratch card programme, Ryanair has contributed over €1.6m to charities across Europe and we want to say a special thank you to all our customers who purchased a charity scratch card on board a Ryanair flight, helping both the Puttinu Cares Foundation and a range of other deserving charities across Europe. We look forward to continuing our scratch card programme and supporting even more charities throughout 2023 and beyond.”

Commenting on the donation and what it means for the charity, Rennie Zerafa CEO from the Puttinu Cares Foundation said:

“We are so grateful for this generous donation and continued support from Ryanair. Hundreds of families are benefitting from donations of caring donors. Through donations, Puttinu Cares purchases apartments in the UK near hospitals and offers free accommodation to patients and their families in time of need. The aim of the apartments will always be for patients and their families to focus on treatment and recovery while Puttinu bears some of the load of their suffering and offering a HOME AWAY FROM HOME.”
