Free beer to help hard-hit local sporting clubs

By VAFA Media · March 9, 2021
Free beer to help hard-hit local sporting clubs

To mark the return of local sport in 2021, Asahi Beverages will give five slabs of free beer to all eligible VAFA clubs that register and place orders through Club Connect as part of its Grassroots Giveaway.

Club Connect is a one-stop shop for community sporting clubs to purchase all their beverages wholesale, from beer brands such as Great Northern and Victoria Bitter to soft drink, sports drinks and much more. It’s accessible in a single location, at a great price and is delivered for free at a time that is convenient for the club. Most importantly, clubs can earn cashback on every purchase which acts as a key fundraising tool.

Club Connect founder, Tim Clarke, said Club Connect and the five free slabs will give local sports clubs a helping hand as they recover from the effects of the pandemic.

“Clubs can sell the drinks they receive for free over the bar to raise funds at a time when they need it more than ever. We hope the giveaway encourages more local sporting clubs to sign-up to Club Connect.

“We developed Club Connect in conjunction with grassroots clubs to fundamentally change how they order all their drinks from beer and cider to soft drinks, sports drinks and water.

“The AFL, NRL and other major codes have backed Club Connect and the giveaway will not only help with fundraising for community sporting clubs but also play a part in reconnecting communities across the country.”

Club Connect ambassador and Carlton FC captain, Patrick Cripps, said he couldn’t think of a better way to support local sporting clubs.

“This Grassroots Giveaway is just what clubs need right now,” he said.

“Local clubs are central to thousands of local communities across the country and the money generated from this giveaway is sure to make a difference.”
