Edinburgh Rugby’s Official Single Malt Whisky Partner, Glen Moray, recently donated their on-kit sponsor position to My Name’5 Doddie Foundation for last Sunday’s Heineken Champions Cup match against Castres Olympique at the Stade Pierre Fabre.

The Glen Moray brand normally features on the sleeve of the club’s home and alternate Macron match kit but will be replaced with the logo of the MND charity for the clash in France, where legislation prohibits alcohol companies from advertising during sports events.

Edinburgh Rugby Managing Director Douglas Struth has welcomed Glen Moray’s on-kit sponsor donation, and said:

“Glen Moray are a brilliant sponsor who share the same core values as Edinburgh Rugby - they have a passion for engaging with their local community while ensuring they are connected to those that support their business.

“Therefore, we’re delighted that they’ve chosen to donate their on-kit sponsor patch to My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, a charity who are intrinsically linked to the Scottish rugby community through their fantastic fundraising initiatives like Doddie Aid.”

Glen Moray UK Marketing Manager, James Collins, said:

“As the Official Whisky of Edinburgh Rugby, Glen Moray was honoured to have the opportunity to donate our on-kit sponsor position to My Name’5 Doddie Foundation for the club’s upcoming clash in France."

It’s an incredibly worthwhile cause, and we hope this visibility will help to raise awareness of the fantastic work of the Foundation and make a positive difference to the lives of those with motor neuron disease.
