Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind receive funds raised at Leaseplan & Volkswagen fleet event.
Patrick Costigan and his guide dog Quandro were delighted to accept a cheque for €2,300 on behalf of Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind. The money was raised at a star-studded night held in Dublin's Aviva Stadium by Leaseplan, Ireland's leading provider of fleet management services and Volkswagen Ireland.
The event was designed to showcase the extensive range of Volkswagen Passenger and Commercial Vehicles and also featured an on-stage interview with former Manchester United and Ireland Captain Roy Keane. An auction for the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind, which included a VIP trip to the Heineken Cup Final, raised €2,300 for the charity which is particularly close to Roy Keane's heart.
Each dog costs €38,000 during the course of it's working life.
