Greyhound Racing Ireland (GRI) has announced the donation of €10,000 raised from the recent “Jerseys At The Dogs Nationwide Bucket Collection” to the Dillon Quirke Foundation.
The funds were presented at Limerick Greyhound Stadium by Tim Lucey, CEO of Greyhound Racing Ireland, to Dan Quirke, representing the Dillon Quirke Foundation.
The collection was held over a week in April with greyhound racing fans and staff encouraged to wear their club or county jerseys in honour of Dillon and donate what they could at the turnstiles.
The funds raised will help to deliver cardiac screening to over one hundred children currently being screened as part of the nationwide campaign.
“We are immensely proud to support the Dillon Quirke Foundation,” said Tim Lucey.
“The participation and generosity from all the stadia involved demonstrate the strong sense of community within the greyhound racing world.”
“We hope these funds will help the foundation continue its important cardiac screening work of young GAA players nationwide and continue to honour Dillon’s memory.”
“We are deeply appreciative of Greyhound Racing Ireland’s support,” added Dan Quirke on behalf of the Dillon Quirke Foundation.
“The funds raised will go a long way in furthering our mission and ensuring Dillon’s legacy lives on.”
Sport for Business Will host it’s Annual Sport for Social Good event in partnership with Allianz on October 24th, one of multiple events currently planned for the remainder of 2024.
