Ace Athletic Club, Drogheda, County winners in the recent Texaco Support for Sport initiative, has been presented with a cheque for €5,000 which will be used to help purchase new equipment and fund the rental of specialist facilities.
With a special focus on the young and children with special needs, Ace Athletic Club prides itself on core values that, it says, are ‘underpinned’ by the following attributes: Community, Encouraging, Focused, Competitive and Determination.
Under the scheme – similar to that which proved successful last year when the Louth county award was presented to Ardee St. Mary’s GFC – the presentation was made to the Club by Valero Energy (Ireland) Limited, the company that markets fuel in Ireland under the Texaco brand.
Now in its second year, the Texaco Support for Sport initiative sees an annual fund of €130,000 set aside for allocation in equal amounts of €5,000 to successful applicants chosen on a county-by-county basis. Overseeing the adjudication process was Texaco Support for Sport ambassador, former Irish rugby international and broadcaster, Donncha O’Callaghan.
Entries to the 2023 Texaco Support for Sport initiative will open this Autumn.
