Boxing, AHL1 & Easter Camp!
Your Club Update
March 4th, 2020
 
"Float like a butterfly, Sting like a sliotar"
 
OK. I admit it, I'll be harping on about the boxing until after it is done. It's the big club fundraiser after all.  Once again we're looking at a big schedule of games this weekend, but we have a new threat to fixtures in the form of precautions being made around the corona virus. Once again, I'd recommend keeping an eye on our Instagram, Twitter or Facebook in case of late game changes.
if you want something included in the club notes, all you have to do is drop me a mail at pro@stvincentsgaa.ie.
 
Boxing Event Now on Sale
 
Our big fundraising event for this year is now on sale. "Boxing at Vins" is a one-night event at the club on 21 March. There's a buch of club members who are busting a gut for your entertainment, in what promises to be a packed, fun filled night. 
This is primarily a fund raising event, and there's a number of ways you can support.
1. Attend the event. Tickets are on sale at https://vins.ie/box. (Hint: If you know a boxer, speak to them for a discount off the admission ticket.)
2. Help with corporate sponsorship. Each bout will have a bout sponsor, and each boxer will have an individual sponsor. Would your company sponsor? Download the sponsor document for information on sponsor packages, and if you think you can help secure a sponsorship, please let us know.
3. Help with individual sponsorship. Each boxer will raise funds by asking friends and family to sponsor them individually - The boxer may be representing your team, or your child's team; each line they fill on their card is a show of support for the boxer.
I promised I'd introduce you to the boxers, so no time like the present.
 
Meet the boxers
 
The stars of the event are the boxers themselves. They've been in the Gym for the last 7 weeks, working hard. Each boxer is representing different teams throughout the club, and we've been introducing them on our social media channels.
This week saw us introduce Becky, Dave,Mick,  Gillian and Glenn. Why not sponsor them to show you support?  Keep your eye on social media as we continue to introduce more boxers.
