Ford; Ireland’s leading motor company have been partnering with Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind for 3 years and have once again kindly sponsored a brand new Ford Focus for their 2013 raffle.  The funds raised go towards providing life changing services for people who are blind or vision impaired and families of children with autism.

Sinead O’Keeffe Commercial Manager IGDB said “The 2012 car raffle was a great success. We couldn’t do the work we do without the support from Ford Ireland, the general public who purchased tickets and the many volunteers who sold tickets throughout the country. Ford have helped us raise in excess of €225,000 for our vital services and we are delighted that they continue to support us”.
