Supporting children with critical Illnesses
Every year, Team Rynkeby embarks on the admirable journey from Denmark to Paris, cycling to benefit children with critical illnesses. From 29th June to 6th July 2024, there will be 2,349 Team Rynkeby riders saddling up to raise money for these children. In addition to the riders, 505 support staff members participate in the project.
Every penny counts, and a large portion of the funds are raised through sponsorships from generous companies. This year, Smurfit Kappa has chosen to contribute with a gold sponsorship of 20,000 Danish Krone to the charity cycling team. The funds raised in Denmark support the vital work of the Children's Cancer Foundation and the Children's Lung Foundation for children and their families affected by illness.
Team Rynkeby's dedication and effort to help children with critical illnesses are commendable, and we are pleased to contribute to their important mission. At Smurfit Kappa, we have a strong focus on contributing to our local communities where we live and work, and Team Rynkeby's efforts are a cause close to our hearts, helping children and their families in difficult and serious situations.
Over the past 22 years, Team Rynkeby has raised more than 700 million Danish Krone for children with critical illnesses.
Smurfit Kappa has a deep commitment to supporting the communities in which we live and work and championing the vulnerable. Each year our employees continue to generously give their time, energy, and expertise, to empower communities, encouraging wellbeing, inspiring future generations and protecting our planet.
