Making sport accessible for all

Paddy Power loves sport.  We’re obsessed.  And we think sport has the power to change lives.  That’s why in 2014 our Irish and UK businesses are proud to be working with Special Olympics Ireland and Special Olympics Great Britain as our official charities of the year. 

Founded in 1968, Special Olympics is the world’s largest sports organisation for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, providing year-round training and competitions for millions of athletes in 170 countries.

Money raised through the efforts of the employees of Paddy Power will help Special Olympics Ireland and Special Olympics GB to continue to provide sporting opportunities to all of their athletes who train on a weekly basis in over 550 Special Olympics Clubs throughout Ireland and the UK.  We have a joint fundraising target of €150,000, but we are quietly confident we will smash that figure…
