Did you know that 2% of ALL winning prizemoney is donated to the Irish Retired Greyhound Trust? And that the Greyhound Racing Ireland then match that amount in another donation?
So that means that not only is your cause raising funds from your fundraising event but so is the Irish Retired Greyhound Trust (IRGT).
