The partnership will secure a donation of up to £30,000 for the charity, with the company donating £1000 for every home booked until the end of 2018.
This announcement comes after Hagan Homes revealed its plans to build 2000 new homes over the next 10 years as part of its 30th anniversary celebrations.
James Hagan, Chair and Founder of Hagan Homes said: "Hagan Homes is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and as part of the company's celebrations we have planned a series of significant donations to a number of local charities. We are committed to supporting local communities and wanted to support organisations that have families and young people at the heart of what they do.
"We have worked closely with NI Children to Lapland and Days To Remember Trust for many years. What they offer terminally ill or life limited children and their families is absolutely priceless - creating magical memories by helping them to travel on a trip of a lifetime to Lapland. It is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding and deserving charities we have ever been involved with.

"By donating £1000 for every home that is booked up until the end of the year, we are aiming to donate up to £30,000 to the charity. The donation will go directly to the trip to Lapland on Wednesday 19 December 2018 and will help to fulfil the children's ultimate dream of meeting Santa and the reindeers in Lapland!"
Jack Rodgers MBE, Founder and Chairman, NI Children to Lapland and Days to Remember Trust, added: "We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hagan Homes for this very generous donation towards the Lapland trip. For the past few years we have been able to take the children to Santa Park in Roveniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus on the Arctic Circle in Lapland in Finland. It is an incredible underground facility which offers just about everything the kids could wish for as well as the space outside for all of the traditional 'snow fun' activities."
Mr Rodgers continued: "In Northern Ireland, at any given time, there are over 1000 children suffering from a terminal illness. We are a Northern Irish charity that helps local children throughout our province, by giving them a day they will never forget. Many of the children endure the burden of illness throughout their entire lives - a lifetime which is sadly too short. The children who travel with us are nominated by their hospitals and doctors, who see for themselves the kids' excitement grow as the day approaches."
The NI Children to Lapland and Days to Remember Trust does not receive any government or national funding, it is totally reliant on donations. Trips are made possible by the generosity of many individuals and companies.
