For clubs or other groups looking to raise money, a night at the dogs is one of the most social and enjoyable ways of going about it.
Depending on the numbers you expect to attract, you can attend an existing night in Tralee – or even stage a one-off night that’s all about your group.
You’ll enjoy a discounted rate on general admission, plus a range of special offers from our bar and restaurant.
Every year millions of euro is raised for clubs, organisations, schools and charities at local Greyhound Stadia right across Ireland. So not alone can you raise some badly needed funds, but your club members and their friends can enjoy a great night out at the same time, building an even stronger club spirit.
Among the facilities at Tralee are:
Free Parking
Restaurant
Fast Food
Private Suite
Outer terrace
Unreserved Seating
Did you know that 2% of ALL winning prizemoney is donated to the Irish Retired Greyhound Trust? And that the Irish Greyhound Board 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).

"What a night, great atmosphere and club colour, fantastic club turn out and overall a great family occasion at our fundraiser last Friday evening. The highlight of the night was our Relay race which was a combination of our club athletes from U13 up taking to the sand track with gusto along with Nathan showing his running skills against the dog.
Fundraising is never easy and it requires great effort and determination.
From our Race Sponsors, Advert sponsors, Donators and Spot Prize Sponsors to all who purchased Nominator, Buster and General entry tickets, the support we received was overwhelmingly positive and beyond expectation. Your support is truly valued and would encourage club members to acknowledge your contribution to fulfilling our fundraising ambitions. We would also like to thank all our club members who invested so much time and effort into making the night such a success.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Declan Dowling and his team at the Kingdom Greyhound Stadium for all his support and to Joe McCarthy for his advice and guidance in organising this event. To Miriam, for her hard work in having a great Raffle on the night. A big applaud to Fozzy Fozzistal for taking on his 6 hrs Treadmill challenge and in the process running 65.2 Km on the night.
Despite our lack of dedicated facilities the club’s results, at juvenile and senior level, have made us the top Athletics club in Kerry for the years 2016, 2017, 2018 and again this year, 2019. We have highly skilled coaches and enthusiastic athletes with over 180 members to date. This is great credit to all involved and now the drive for five begins. We do feel that we have a disadvantage as we have no dedicated facility and home to progress in. This is what we would like to change and to build a home where all budding athletes can progress and get the best opportunity."
