Development Draw 2018
After months of hard work and promotion our very successful club development draw took place last Sunday night in Doorlys Corner House. The decision to have the development draw in the summer instead of in December was taken by the Executive in the Spring and the finance committee have put a lot of work into the planning, organising, distribution, promotion and sell of this fundraiser to assist in the financing of our club for 2018. In excess of €22,000 was raised which is an outstanding figure and the final total will be confirmed in the coming days.
A big thank you to our sponsors who were, again, most generous in their donation of prizes for our draw. The business community of Roscommon town and its environs are under severe pressure from all fronts in relation to financial support of the very many worthy organisations in the Roscommon area. They were more than happy to support our draw and donated very attractive and lucrative prizes. Please thank our sponsors when you see them and more importantly please support them and their businesses in return for their support of Roscommon Gaels.
Our finance committee under the Chairmanship of Cahal Mahon has worked tirelessly over the past few months on this project. The committee of Cahal Mahon, Tom Fitzmaurice, Harry Hoare, Frank Nally, David Waldron, Paul Biesty, Niamh Kilmartin, Anthony Clogher Seamus Carthy and Teresa Hession have put in a huge amount of time and effort and have ensured that no stone was left unturned to make this draw successful. There was massive commitment involved and as with any fundraiser it has to be driven to ensure that all parts of the club get involved and contribute to the success of the draw. There was a great sense of purpose and the committee harnessed the help of people to not alone sell individually or through our club teams but also at other major events and matches that happened in the locality as well as selling in the town at the weekend. This was a major factor in contributing to the success of the draw. Thanks also to the club members, coaches and officers who gave of their time to assist with the distribution, promotion and selling of tickets over the past number of weeks. Thank you to each and every member of the finance committee for their work, time, energy, effort and enthusiasm and for the part they played in this draw and for making it the success it was.
Financing a large GAA club which fields and caters for as many codes and as many teams as Roscommon Gaels does is a mammoth task and it is one that should not be left to a small group. When we all take ownership of the financing of our club and help in whatever we can then the task becomes less onerous, By assisting and supporting club fundraisers, club lotto etc we will have the required monies to run and further invest and develop Roscommon Gaels club to its true potential.
So finally a really big thank you to everyone who sold and bought tickets for the development draw. To our members and the wider community’s we are very grateful for your continued support of Roscommon Gaels GAA club. It is much appreciated and it will contribute greatly to the further development of our club.
