Help us keep hearts beating in Ireland's Archery Clubs!!!

Archery requires precision, focus, and dedication – but the most important thing is safety. The Irish Field Archery Federation (IFAF) has a strong community of athletes across Ireland who deserve to feel protected while they aim for their goals.

Sudden cardiac events can happen anywhere, anytime. Unfortunately, many archery clubs lack the life-saving equipment they need to handle these emergencies. By raising funds to equip every IFAF archery club with a defibrillator, we can ensure that all our athletes, families, and visitors are safer.

Why Defibrillators?

• Immediate access to a defibrillator can increase survival rates by up to 70% in the event of cardiac arrest.

• Many archery clubs are in rural locations, where emergency services can take longer to arrive.

• Defibrillators are easy to use and can be the difference between life and death in critical moments.

We aim to raise €12.000 to purchase defibrillators for every IFAF club across Ireland. Your support, no matter the amount, can help save lives.

How You Can Help:

• Donate what you can. Every euro brings us closer to our goal!

• Share this fundraiser with your friends, family, and social media followers.

• Spread the word within your local archery or sports communities.

Together, we can hit the target of safety and make a lasting difference. Thank you for your support!

Thanks to your generosity and teamwork, we achieved outstanding results:

We are proud to share that the following clubs have now received their defibrillators:

Laois Archery, Limerick Field Archery Club, Strongbow Archers, Aos Dana Archers, Black Castle Archers Thurles, Loch Riach Traditional Archery, Red Fox Archers, Wexford Archery, and Valleybomen.

In addition, one extra defibrillator is now carried to every shoot and provided to the First Aider if their club does not already have one. A short refresher on its use is given before each event begins, ensuring safety across all IFAF shoots.

This project demonstrates what can be achieved when the archery community comes together with a shared purpose. Thank you all for your continued support and commitment to keeping our sport safe for everyone.

Warm regards,
