How we work together
LR Suntory provides invaluable support to Barretstown through sponsorship. They are currently the title sponsor of Barretstown’s signature walking event, the Dublin Mountains Challenge (DMC) which takes place annually. As well as sponsoring the event they also ensure their staff get involved by entering teams in the event, encouraging staff volunteering, gift in kind, signage and photography.
In addition to the DMC, LR Suntory agreed to sponsor the inaugural Barretstown Golf Outing which took place in the K Club in September 2015. They entered teams from their local and international offices, provided gift in kind and even loaned us one of their brand ambassadors, GAA star Colm “The Gooch” Cooper!

They adopt a ‘Yatte Minahare’ approach, which means ‘Go For It’, is at the heart of their business. LR Suntory’s youthful and sporty brands are a great fit for Barretstown’s sporting events.
