Kevin O’Donovan: ‘Every euro raised from Rebels’ Bounty will benefit Cork GAA clubs either directly or indirectly’

A number of Cork GAA clubs have expressed reservations about a new funding mechanism, ‘Rebels’ Bounty’, proposed to replace the old 'Clubs Draw' in the county - the argument being that it is inequitable and places too much of a burden on smaller clubs. Here Cork GAA CEO Kevin O'Donovan, on behalf of the county's GAA executive, addresses some of the issues

The ‘Rebels’ Bounty’ fundraising initiative provides a unique opportunity to regenerate the finances of GAA clubs across Cork.

Running to stand still is no longer an option for fundraising, and every effort should be made to ensure clubs are given the freedom to raise as much as they can to re-invest in their future.
