**Irish tea company Lyons has launched a promotion that will give €120,000 to charities
over the next year, with twelve charities each receiving €10,000. People are being
asked to write in describing the qualities of their favourite charity and the best
entry will be selected by an independent panel on a monthly basis.**

The [Lyons Extraordinary Charity Giveaway](http://www.lyonscharitygiveaway.ie/) 
requires charity supporters to collect 20 tokens from Lyons tea packs and send them
together with a description of their favourite charity. Lyons has produced a pack
for charities to motivate their supporters to get involved. The pack includes promotional
posters, token collection boxes and starter tokens to get supporters collecting.

Only Irish registered charities are eligible and the competition will run until 
August 2008. An application can be downloaded from the special website or by contacting
Lyons Charity Promotion, PO Box 10850, Dublin 2.
