iRadio is proud to be supporting the inaugural Western Alzheimers Pub Pint Race at the Galway Races.
Here's how it works: each pub fundraises for Western Alzheimers then nominates a representative to compete in the race against a number of other pubs, which involves running a distance with a pint on a tray - the person that finishes fastest AND with the most drink left in the glass wins.
The winning pub receives a specially commissioned sculpture to display in their pub for the duration that they hold the Pub Pint Race winning title!
The current title holder is Darcy’s Bar in Eyre Square. There is also a group prize for the team that raises the most money.
All funds raised in Galway stay in Galway. With the ever-increasing demand for their services, Western Alzheimers are partnering with Claregalway & District Day Care to open a new purpose-built day care centre in Claregalway. The new facility will comprise of a day care centre catering for 25 people 5 days per week. A bus service will be provided on varying days to different areas of County Galway to ensure easy access. Ten of these places will be for service users who have a dementia diagnosis and the specialist care will be provided by Western Alzheimers.
The race takes place on Saturday Aug 4th at the Galway Races from 1pm. You can sponsor your favourite at their pub or on www.idonate.ie/pubname Alternatively you can text - SHARE to 50300 to donate €4.
