St James' GAA Club - GoFundMe appeal
Donation protected
A message from our club chairman:
This has been an extraordinary year for everyone in our parish and also for St James' GAA. The Covid-19 pandemic has halted club fundraising for the past three months, and our main fundraising event, the Ardfield/Rathbarry Family Fun Day & Threshing (usually held in August), has had to be cancelled. The Threshing was a great day out and also brought in €7,000 a year for the club. The loss of the Threshing and other fundraising activities is a major blow to the financing of St James’ GAA.
Consequently, the club coffers have been significantly depleted, and we now have only one month's funds left in our account. Yet we must continue to pay our bills (electricity, water, etc.), maintain the pitches, and repay the club loan at the rate of €740 per month.
St James’ GAA is therefore appealing to all members and supporters to help the club with its finances during this very difficult period. The club has set up a GoFundMe page to receive donations, and we urge everyone to support this vital appeal, so as to ensure our club can continue to operate during these unprecedented times.
St James’ GAA has much to be proud of, both on the pitch and off, and much of our success is due to the support of our wonderful parishioners. We are calling on every club member, supporter and parishioner (wherever they may be) to support this appeal.
Regards
Niall
