Tipp All-Ireland final jersey to display charity logo

Skoda, who sponsor Tipperary GAA, has added the logo of their charity partner; Dogs Trust to this year's All-Ireland hurling final jersey.

The logo appears on the back of the jersey above the number and will give Dogs Trust valuable brand exposure during the All-Ireland final, helping to raise awareness of a very special, yet underfunded, organisation.

Since opening its state of the art rehoming centre in Finglas in 2009, Dogs Trust has helped save the lives of over 4,000 stray and abandoned puppies and dogs.

Raymond Leddy, Head of Marketing & Product at Skoda Ireland said "We're delighted to see Tipperary back in an All-Ireland final and are happy to give Dogs Trust the opportunity to display their logo on the Tipp jersey on the biggest day in the Hurling calendar. The Dogs Trust team rely on funding from the public and we want to be able to raise awareness of this great cause. We appreciate the support of the Tipperary county board on this and we wish the players, management and the county board all the best ahead of the game."

The support has been warmly welcomed by Mark Beazley, Executive Director of Dogs Trust.

Dogs Trust has just opened a new puppy wing extension, caring for an additional 500 abandoned puppies every year. IF you wish to donate to Dogs Trust - text PUPPY to 50300 to donate €4 or visit: www.dogstrust.ie/giving/donations/makeadonation
