The funds were raised by employees and farmer suppliers who took part in the pink bales campaign and the Glanbia 300 annual charity cycle.
The pink bales campaign was launched in June this year and saw farmers around the country wrap their silage in pink and place them in visible locations on the farm to help raise awareness of breast cancer among those passing by.
A donation was made to Breast Cancer Ireland for every single roll of the pink silage wrap that was sold.
Later this year, Breast Cancer Ireland’s annual Great Pink Run will take place in the Phoenix Park on Saturday 19 October and the Castle Park in Kilkenny on Sunday 20 October.
