Glenveagh Homes has been unveiled as the new sponsor of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association National Volunteer of the Year awards.
This announcement builds on the already strong relationship between the two organisations with Glenveagh Homes already sponsoring the Association’s Gaelic4Girls programme.
Applications for the 2023 Glenveagh Homes LGFA National Volunteer of the Year awards close on Friday November 24, with winners to be honoured in ten categories.
The awards are now in their seventh year and acknowledge the sterling and unselfish work of volunteers working in the sport.
Administrators, coaches and media are among those who are honoured across the ten categories, while the LGFA will also welcome a winner into the Volunteer Hall of Fame.
The Overall Volunteer of the Year award will receive the Lulu Carroll award, named after the late Lulu Carroll, who was a 2001 All-Ireland senior medallist with Laois.
Lulu, who passed away in 2007, was a committed servant to Ladies Football at club and county levels, and one of the game’s most popular and well-known figures. A former All-Star recipient, she also won eight Leinster titles with Laois, along with six county senior titles and a provincial crown at club level with Timahoe.
“We are hugely excited to welcome on board Glenveagh Homes as the new, official sponsor of our LGFA National Volunteer of the Year awards,” said LGFA President Micheál Naughton.
“Glenveagh Homes will now provide valuable support for our LGFA Volunteer of the Year awards, which have been a huge success since our inaugural presentation night in February 2018.”
“They are committed to building lasting communities and there is a huge synergy between what they do and our values as an Association, and our commitment to our grassroots members and volunteers.”
“Glenveagh are delighted to support the LGFA National Volunteer Awards, honouring LGFA members for their inspiring work in clubs and counties across the country,” added Marketing Manager Cameron McDonnell.
“Our new sponsorship builds on the existing partnership with the LGFA and the successes of the Gaelic4Girls programme to-date, which aligns closely with our Building Lasting Communities programme nationally.”
