We are thrilled to announce that our Playground fundraiser has once again been accepted as a chosen cause for Tesco Clonmel's latest Blue Token Community Fund Campaign. The campaign has already kicked off in the Clonmel store and will run for approximately 12 weeks. We would be so grateful if all readers of these notes could get behind this great campaign. The objective is to submit as many Blue Tokens as possible into the Ballymacarbry Playground collection box, which can be found near the checkouts instore. Tesco shoppers will be familiar with the blue tokens which are available at the checkout when making purchases. The more Blue Tokens submitted for Ballymacarbry Playground, the greater our donation from Tesco will be, so please get shopping!
In memory of Cian Morrissey, the Morrissey family and friends of Cian are organizing a tractor/ truck/ car run, along with a family fun day on Sunday, November 3, from 11am.
