Customers who bought a new Renault car in September have helped contribute to €45,000 raised for the Paralympics Council of Ireland in just one month.
Renault Ireland and its dealer network contributed €50 for every new car sold in September, which happened to be the month that Renault took 21 per cent share of the new car market, making it the number one seller of cars in September.
Renault Ireland was announced as an official sponsor of the 2012 Irish Paralympic Team earlier this year and the company sponsors the Renault Ireland Team 2012 Training Camps programme which consists of six domestic training camps for athletes, operating in Limerick.
The Renault Ireland Camps will act as the catalyst in building the Irish team to compete at the second biggest sporting event in the world - the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
Eric Basset, managing director of Renault Ireland, said: “A big thanks to all our customers who bought a Renault car in the month of September and helped us to raise another €45,000 for this wonderful Irish team.
“The team at Renault Ireland is right behind the Irish Paralympic Team for the 2012 Paralympic Games and we are delighted to support, and be involved with, such a fantastic organisation. Beijing in 2008 was an outstanding success for Ireland’s Paralympians and we are very proud to be able to assist and support them in driving success for 2012.”
