What’s your idea to get people more active, more often?

This is the final week for non-profits and voluntary groups to enter The Coca-Cola Thank You Fund, with the deadline of June 29th at 6pm fast approaching.

€125,000 is available from the Fund – in five separate €25,000 grants – for projects that reflect new ideas to get people more active, more often.

Applications for the Coca-Cola Thank You Fund 2015 can be made at www.coca-cola.ie/thankyou.

New Ideas

The Fund would like to hear from a broad range of organizations with novel ideas to motivate their community, or indeed the whole country, to get moving. Projects can involve traditionally popular sports or newer forms of physical activity. The Fund is searching for organisations that have the passion and energy to get a new project off the ground and get people excited about taking part.

Fund Ambassador, Derval O’Rourke

Derval O’Rourke, Coca-Cola Thank You Fund ambassador, said: “I’m hoping to uncover some fantastic community initiatives that make it possible for the public to access activity programmes within their locality, and would urge all organisations with ideas for ways we can all get more active to apply now.”

In celebration of the Fund, Derval has put together her top ten tips to help you get active. Click here to read those tips on the Coca-Cola Journey website.
