The proceeds of the sale of items, donated by KPMG personnel, amounted to €425 which was added to monies collected from raffle ticket sales amounting to €240. The resulting total collection was further topped up to €1,000 by the Infrastructure Team within KPMG.

This initiative was kick-started when the Infrastructure arm of KPMG, which provides administrative support to their colleagues in the Audit, Tax and Advisory Function, were collectively awarded the Standing Ovation Encore Award to recognise their collective stellar service offering to their colleagues at KPMG. This coveted award, the highest level of recognition of a 3-tier award system, is given to teams or individual people who continuously deliver exceptionally high quality standard services, are high performers and act as models of inspiration to their fellow colleagues and in the wider interest of the firm. The Standing Ovation Encore Award recipients are presented with a memento and a monetary gift.
