Topaz, Ireland’s largest fuel and convenience retailer, is delighted to announce that four clubs from Moneygall have been drawn as winners in its 2017 Cash for Clubs initiative, with a total of €11,500 being awarded across the clubs.

Topaz is the country’s largest fuel and convenience retailer with 438 sites nationwide. Being at the heart of local communities across the country, Topaz recognises the vital role that clubs of all shapes and sizes play in providing opportunities for people of every age to learn new skills, socialise and be active. Given the challenges clubs across Ireland face when it comes to vital fundraising, Topaz introduced the ‘Cash for Clubs’ scheme in 2015 to give clubs the opportunity to generate much-needed funds by harnessing the support of their members and the local community.

After signing up to ‘Cash for Clubs’, members collected tokens by fueling up at their local Topaz station. This year, the following four Moneygall clubs were randomly drawn out as the lucky cash prize winners as part of this year’s campaign:

€5,000 Prize Winner – St. Flannan’s Bournea Community Games
€5,000 Prize Winner – Moneygall Tidy Towns
€1,000 Prize Winner – Moneygall FC
€500 Prize Winner – Moneygall GAA

This year, over 3,000 clubs registered for the initiative. Since its launch in 2015, Cash for Clubs has awarded €400,000 in prizes to clubs nationwide.

Sinead Moriarty, Marketing and Communications Manager at Topaz, said: “Topaz Cash for Clubs was first set up in 2015 to reward the tireless work of clubs in Ireland that demonstrate commitment to their communities each day. In the third year of this initiative, we are delighted to award a grand total of €11,500 to four deserving clubs from Moneygall.

With 438 service stations across the island of Ireland, Topaz is very much at the heart of Irish communities, so we are thrilled to have the chance to reward the intrinsic roles that clubs play in communities every week. We would like to extend our congratulations to the four prize winning clubs from Moneygall this year - we hope that the prize money will help them to make a difference to their community in the coming years.”
