Car Draws kick off GAA development fundraising

An appeal to support fundraising for the 'Field of Dreams' club development project has been made by Kilcullen GAA, writes Brian Byrne.

The project involves the creation of three new pitches on land acquired in a 'swap' with Kildare County Council, two of which will be for juveniles.

"The cost of this project is huge and it will be paid for by a mix of many fundraising events and potential grants," says Development Committee member Nicholas Egan. "Our first fund raiser is the County Board car draw. Tickets are €100 and it enters you into four weekly draws for a car and cash prizes. All proceeds are going directly to the development fund. Anyone wanting to support by purchasing a ticket please contact me directly." The draw dates are 9 and 23 September and 7 and 21 October, all Friday nights.

The club, which currently has 1,000 members, is also seeking help from people in the community with specific skills that may be useful in bringing the project to fruition. "if you have a trade or a skill set that you can offer free to the club, please also let me know," Nicholas says, adding that it is 'an exciting time' for the club and the project will ensure enhanced facilities for the current and next generation of young people in Kilcullen.
