2023 is a special year for the Aerogen history books. We mark 25 years of the company's existence.
From a small room above a butchers shop in the west of Ireland to the world leader in acute care aerosol drug delivery - we've come a long way. Over 20 million people in 75 countries around the world have benefitted from our products. This is a truly remarkable success story and one which we were keen to celebrate.
In Aerogen we "don't do ordinary" and this was very much the case for us when we were deciding on how to mark our anniversary. We decided that we would do this through a series of events, both big and small, locally, nationally and internationally over the course of the year. Each of these events correspond to a number from 1-25, are announced in no particular order and all of them tie in with our Pledge 1% commitment.
Some of the events that have taken place or will take place shortly include;
- Movember. ONE is representative of the alarming stat that across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day. In Aerogen over the month of November we will be raising awareness and funds for mens health.
- Three represents the 3,407 ft that makes up Carrauntoohil, the highest mountain in Ireland. We climbed it in aid of Clare Crusaders - raising €2,500. Aerogen matched it to bring it to €5,000.
- FOUR represents the 4 hospitals that make up Children's Health Ireland - Crumlin, Temple Street, Tallaght and Connolly. Held an internal Halloween fundraiser raising over €3,000. Aerogen will increase to a donation of €25,000 to the Giggle Fund.
- Aerogen sponsored SEVEN athletes to participate in the Special Olympics Berlin.
- Team Chicago climbed TWELVE thousand plus steps in the Fight for Air fundraiser raising $3,455 which Aerogen matched
We are looking forward to continuing our celebrations over the coming months, with a finale event in March '24, marking the end of one year of charity and community events - supporting both financially, with product and staff time, through our Pledge 1% commitment.
