Our Charity Work

Giving Back to the World

Race and Stay are the Premier Horse Racing Tour Company in Ireland. Since we opened our doors in 2013 over 46,000 happy guests have booked with us. We are very proud to be the Official Guest Travel Partner for Horse Racing Ireland and most Irish Racecourses and to give back to the best worthy causes and the industry we love. Unlike most other tour companies we deeply care about the Environment by making all bookings with us paperless and as environmentally friendly as possible. The after care and re-training of Racehorses and all equine stock as well as the other non-racing related causes we support. We are unique in this and we are proud to continue to support as many Charities and good causes as we can.

Irish Injured Jockeys Fund

For those of us that love horse racing it is easy to take so much for granted. It is a fun day out alright but there are no other sports where two ambulances follow the contestants whilst they are engaged in for what is them work, for us entertainment.

The Irish Injured Jockeys fund care for the riders, grooms, stable staff and all who work in the racing indusrty when they are unfit for work for any reason. They are a vital organisation that delivers an excellent service to the industry and their families when things do not go according to plan. Race and Stay are very proud to support the Irish Injured Jockeys fund and will continue to run charity events and will donate to this very worthy cause into the future.

Supporting Worthy Causes

Race and Stay are involved with many Local, National and International Charities and we support them by sponsorship or by providing FREE Race and Stay packages for Auctions and Events. These packages are designed for the charities to fund raise and often deliver excellent income streams for the good causes we support.

In 2023 alone we donated in excess of €25,000 worth of Charity prizes to causes relating to Riding for the Disabled, Life saving operations, Racing education and the Re-training of racehorses after their careeer's have finished on the track. Whilst we would like to do as much as we can we are a commercial business and each year we have to cherry pick the most deserving causes to support from the vast number of requests we receive. If you feel that you have a cause that we may support please do get in touch, we will do all we can to help.
