ATHEA GAA CLUB NOTES

Athea GAA – ‘Rising Above Together’

The last few months has brought its own challenges for us all, and indeed for our Club. Ambitious fundraising initiatives as well as our regular Church Gate Collections are on hold and we are now concentrating our efforts on our Club Development Draw to bring in some much-needed revenue. Funds raised will allow us to continue our club activities and progress our Club Development Plan for the benefit of all units of Athea GAA. Tickets are priced at just €50, a cost that can be shared by a group of friends, a family or work colleagues. We would like to thank you all for supporting our fundraising efforts over the last number of years, we are beyond grateful. We now appeal to the generosity of our community to help us ‘rise above together’.
