Circle K, Ireland’s leading forecourt and convenience retailer, and title sponsors of the FAI Club Mark Programme, this week announced a €100,000 giveaway to grassroots football clubs across the country.
As title sponsor of the FAI Club Mark Programme, an award based on best practice in the governance, management and administration of a football club, Circle K is giving customers the chance to nominate their local grassroots football club to win one of eight prizes ranging from €10,000 to €30,000. Circle K are calling on the people of Dublin support their local clubs by entering this groundbreaking competition. Nominations opened on October 4 and the closing date for entries is December 5.
For a club to be eligible, they must be registered for the FAI Club Mark Programme which aims to provide clubs with a road map to good governance, reward clubs for achieving and maintaining high standards, recognise clubs for their commitment and achievements and help grow football in communities across the country.
To enter the competition, customers must have downloaded the Circle K app and registered for PLAY or PARK, Circle K’s loyalty game. Then, you simply select your chosen football club in the FAI portal within the app and upload your Circle K receipt to generate a draw entry for your club. One draw entry will be generated per receipt uploaded. The more entries a club gets, the higher their chances of winning will be.
Receipts issued at all Circle K outlets will be eligible to enter in the Circle K Grassroots Giveaway.
Gordon Lawlor, Managing Director of Circle K Ireland said: “At Circle K we understand the crucial role that grassroots football clubs play in communities right across Ireland, and we’re proud of our partnership with the FAI that aims to support football at grassroots and national level.
We’re excited to launch this giveaway which will hopefully have a positive impact for the winning clubs nationwide, and we encourage all our customers to get involved and give their local clubs the best possible chance of winning.”
FAI Marketing and Communications Director Louise Cassidy said: We see it having real benefit to grassroots football across the country.
