Tipp hurlers to hold virtual Charity Appeal

Supporters are invited to walk, run or cycle 3k or 3 miles on December 30th in your own area from 11.00am, wearing the Tipperary colours

The Tipperary senior hurlers will hold a Christmas Charity Appeal next Wednesday 30th December

Consciously aware of the most vulnerable in their community, the Tipperary hurlers are embarking on a fundraising charity appeal where they hope to raise at least €3,000 for four local causes - Nenagh General Hospital, South Tipperary General Hospital, Thurles Community Hospital and Cluain Arann Community Health Centre, Tipperary Town.

Supporters are invited to walk, run or cycle 3k or 3 miles on December 30th in your own area from 11.00am, wearing the Tipperary colours and share photos and video messages with Tipperary GAA social media platforms.

There are 6 spot prizes for anyone one donates, including a signed Tipperary jersey, framed photos of the 2016 & 2019 All-Ireland winning teams plus signed hurleys from captain Seamus Callanan, Noel McGrath and Padraic Maher.

Home visits by Tipp stars

On top of that, while Tipperary supporters were unable to attend recent inter-county matches, manager Liam Sheedy and some of the players want to visit some of the most needy, in a socially distance setting at their own home. Do you know someone that would like a visit this Christmas? If so, please send a short email to tippshchristmas3@gmail.com indicating why that special someone would love a visit from Liam and the lads. 15 people deemed the most-worthy will receive a visit and gift from Liam Sheedy, while other entries will be selected at random for phone calls from other members of the panel during a three-hour period on December 30th. Closing date for requests is Wednesday 23rd December.
