Liberty Insurance, sponsor of the GAA Hurling and Camogie All Ireland Championships, has confirmed a new fundraising offer for clubs which was first unveiled on Sport for Business last week.
Anyone who takes out a new motor or home insurance policy with Liberty Insurance before October 13th 2013 can nominate their local GAA or Camogie club to receive €50 from Liberty Insurance. The more people that take out a policy, the greater the financial return for the club.
In addition, everyone who gets a quote from Liberty Insurance during the same period via www.libertygaa.ie will be in with a chance of winning €10,000 for their local club.
The initial phase of the promotion is time limited but it is hoped that if it is successful it will be extended as an ongoing feature given the annual renewal cycle of insurance policies.
The offer is a great one for clubs because it is triggered by the actions of individual members who will be taking out insurance anyway and only needs promotion to the members as opposed to any additional logistics.
It is another in a line of promotions aimed at grassroots sport that includes offers from Ulster Bank, Supervalu, Lucozade Sport, Opel and more, all of which have been highlighted for clubs on sport for business and which will be part of an alert service offered to club members as part of club membership from the autumn.
“Liberty Insurance is a committed partner of the GAA & Camogie Associations” said Annette Ní Dhathlaoí of Liberty Insurance, at the launch of the offer.
“As we said at the announcement of our partnership back in May, our commitment extends far beyond our sponsorship of the GAA Hurling All Ireland Senior Championship and the Liberty Insurance Camogie Championships.”
“We know that clubs are the real heart of the GAA and this offer gives people the opportunity to really get behind their club and generate additional income in a very simple and achievable way.”
Details of the scheme were announced today by Milford Camogie Club’s Anna Geary and Murroe-Boher man Seamus Hickey, who will both line out for their counties in their respective All Ireland semi-finals on the 17th and 18th of August.
“To be able to give a real financial benefit to your club, just by doing something you have to do anyway if you have a car or a house, is fantastic.” said Hickey “Liberty Insurance have made it very easy for people to financially support their club.”
To participate, anyone wishing to get a quote just needs to visit www.libertygaa.ie where they will be guided through the quote and club nomination process in very simple steps.
