Kellie Harrington and SPAR announce new partnership

Olympic Gold Medallist boxer Kellie Harrington has become an official ambassador for SPAR.

The new three-year partnership will see SPAR support Kellie every step of the way on her journey to the 2024 Paris Olympics Games.

To further celebrate the new partnership, SPAR and Kellie Harrington also today launched the SPAR Christmas Community Fund.

The new initiative will see SPAR acknowledge and reward 10 local community mentors by giving them the opportunity to win €1,000 each for their local club or community group.

SPAR retailers are proud to serve the communities in which they are embedded, and this initiative is indicative of their ongoing commitment to their customers.

Kellie was on hand today at the launch of the partnership.

I am delighted to be announced today as a new Brand Ambassador for SPAR and to be working with them on my journey to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games,” she said.

“SPAR have a presence in every community around Ireland and the importance of community is something that I am very passionate about and really resonates with me.

“The SPAR Christmas Community Fund is a great initiative and I am pleased to be associated with it.

“I look forward to seeing the local hero nominations that will be entered and hearing each inspiring story.”

Also commenting on the partnership, Colin Donnelly, SPAR Sales Director said:

“On behalf of our SPAR Retailers, I am delighted to be here today launching our new partnership with Kellie Harrington.
