MARS REFUEL DRINK FUND EXTENDED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2009

The MARS Refuel Drink Fund, which provides donations to aspiring sports people and clubs, has announced that it has extended this year’s scheme until September 2009. Launched in 2008, the Mars Refuel Drink Fund has already helped more than 4000 people to play sport for longer and is looking to add to this tally over the coming months. Michelle Frost, Mars Consumer Drinks, explains: “As the popularity of the MARS Refuel Drink Fund has continued to grow, we have decided to extend the fund until September.  “We want to help as many people as possible play for longer and we have been overwhelmed by all the fantastic applications received so far. Our MARS Refuel sponsored athletes have helped choose the winners each month as they understand the amazing sacrifices people make every day for sport.”  With £10,000 to donate each month, at a maximum of £500 per applicant, applications can be made online at www.marsrefuel.com where you can send in pictures, videos and links to support your entry.  The fund is open to residents of, and clubs and organisations based in the UK and Republic of Ireland only. Applicants must be 12 years or over and only one application will be accepted per person, club or organisation.
