Fundraising Status
Our fundraising efforts are now focused on the indoor Sports and Community Centre, which will feature an indoor sports/community hall, a boxing/martial arts dance studio, meeting rooms, gymnasium, childcare facilities. We estimate this centre to cost €1.5m. Once built this facility will benefit all of the community and we are asking local clubs, groups, schools, businesses and individuals to help fundraise toward your centre, to get involved and play your part once again. See attachment. Check out our website www.sailesportsandleisure.ie for more fundraising photos and to hear all the news on the Sports development especially the hockey club.
Grant Applications
We are delighted to have been awarded €20,000K from the Cork County Council Community Fund 2012 toward building a new Sports and Community Centre. It's a great endorsement for the project and a much needed boost to our fundraising efforts. We have submitted a strong application for funding to the Sports Capital Programme 2012 which was released earlier this year. Thanks to all groups, clubs and committees that wrote letters of support which were sent with the application. Local TD's and councillors will also be making strong representation for our case to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport.
Your continued support is very much appreciated going forward.
Kind Regards,
Anne Murphy
