Giving Back at Christmas: How Tricise Supports DEBRA International and the Butterfly Children Community
As the holiday season approaches, many of us take a moment to reflect on the past year, celebrate milestones, and appreciate the people and partnerships that shape our professional and personal lives.
At Tricise, Christmas is also a time to reaffirm something that matters deeply to us: giving back. This commitment is not limited to December — it is part of who we are throughout the entire year.
Why Corporate Responsibility Matters to Us
Corporate social responsibility has become an important part of how modern companies define success.
For Tricise, CSR means using our platform, resources, and community to support causes that create real, lasting impact.
One initiative especially close to our hearts is our ongoing support for DEBRA International, the global umbrella organization for national EB support groups worldwide.
About DEBRA International and Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB)
DEBRA International is dedicated to supporting children and families affected by
Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) — a rare, painful genetic skin condition often referred to as “Butterfly Children disease” because the skin can be as fragile as butterfly wings.
If you would like a medical overview, see this Wikipedia article on Epidermolysis Bullosa.
Even everyday actions such as walking, lifting objects, or wearing clothing can cause blistering and wounds.
EB is life-changing not only for children, but also for parents, caregivers, and entire families navigating constant medical and emotional challenges.
Through its worldwide network, DEBRA provides access to specialist medical care, emotional and practical support, advocacy, and research funding aimed at improving quality of life and accelerating treatment development.
Supporting this mission aligns strongly with our values of compassion, responsibility, and community-driven impact.
Why Tricise Supports DEBRA International
Our support for DEBRA International is not a seasonal gesture. It is an ongoing partnership that grows each year because the need is real, and the impact is measurable.
We believe that businesses can — and should — contribute beyond their commercial purpose, especially when it comes to supporting children and families facing daily hardship.
DEBRA’s work gives hope, resources, and visibility to a condition that deserves far more attention.
Biking for Butterfly Children: A Tricise Tradition
One of the ways we bring this commitment to life is through our internal initiative, Biking for Butterfly Children.
The idea is simple but powerful: colleagues across regions take part in sports activities, collect kilometers, and transform their collective effort into direct charity contributions.
You can learn more about this program and our wider CSR approach here: Social Responsibility at Tricise – Supporting Children Beyond Business.
Over time, this initiative has become a genuine Tricise tradition.
It connects teams, supports health and well-being, and turns shared motivation into meaningful help for children living with EB.
Each year, participation grows — and so does the sense of community behind it.
Christmas Giving — and a Year-Round Commitment
Christmas is a natural reminder of generosity, gratitude, and connection. But for Tricise, giving back does not stop when the holiday season ends.
Our goal is to keep CSR a consistent part of our identity — something that grows alongside our business and our community.
By supporting DEBRA International, we contribute to a global movement that improves lives, advances research, and raises awareness for EB worldwide.

Looking Ahead to 2026
As we move into 2026, we remain committed to strengthening our CSR programs, engaging our teams, and expanding our support for meaningful causes.
We believe that every contribution matters — especially when it comes from a community that cares.
To our partners, clients, colleagues, and friends: thank you for walking this path with us.
Together, we can help create a world where children with EB receive the care, support, and hope they deserve.
