Start Collecting for Topaz “Cash for Clubs 2017”

Ballinrobe GAA is now registered for the Topaz Cash for Clubs 2017 and we are asking all Members of the Club, Parents, Players and Coaches to start collecting the Topaz “Cash for Clubs” tokens for us. We were very lucky to win €5000 last year and are looking to build on our success and raise much needed Cash for our Club. The programme offers clubs of all types and sizes from across the island of Ireland the chance to win up to €10,000. The first club drawn will win the top prize of €10,000, while 10 clubs thereafter will win €5,000, and a further 140 will collect €1,000. Check out our winners video from last year below. How it works: We are encouraging all Members of the Club, Parents, Players and Coaches to go that extra mile for our club by collecting ‘Cash for Clubs’ tokens or using a Play or Park game tag which are available in- store or through the Topaz Play or Park app. You’ll receive one token once you spend €30 or more on fuel purchases and once you have linked your game tag to the club; BALLINROBE GAA #2831- MAYO your tokens will be automatically allocated to us. Once a club has collected 2,000 tokens, they will be automatically entered into an ‘everyone-wins’ draw. Cards will be available next week at all training sessions.  See link below https://www.playorpark.ie/cash-for-clubs/how-to-play#
