Pontypool RFC is pleased to announce the launch of its ‘Name a Puppy’ programme in association with Guide Dogs Cymru – Pontypool RFC’s ‘Official Charity’ for the 2013/2014 season.

 

The objective of the ‘Name a Puppy’ programme is simple – to raise £5,000 before the conclusion of this season to enable the breeding and puppy walking of a guide dog puppy.

 

The guide dog service transforms the lives of around 4,500 blind and partially sighted people in the UK every year, but it receives no government funding.

 

If £5,000 can be raised, a competition will be launched that will offer Pontypool RFC supporters the chance to choose the name of the guide dog puppy. A dedicated portion of the official Pontypool RFC website will also feature a variety of updates and photos of the guide dog puppy to highlight the difference contributions are making to the community.

 

This is a fantastic opportunity for Pontypool RFC to support the local community and the club is kindly asking for your support.

 

Whether you are a Pontypool RFC supporter or are simply interested in contributing to the ‘Name a Puppy’ initiative, anybody can fundraise for this great cause.

 

Pontypool RFC and Guide Dogs Cymru thank you for your support, and for helping us reach our £5,000 target.
