Irish primary schools have a chance to win an incredible €50,000 to upgrade their sports facilities with the return of the Aldi Play Rugby Sticker Competition.
The retailer is giving away prizes worth a total of €400,000 in the competition, two schools will win €50,000 sports facility makeovers while 10 runner up primary schools will win €10,000 each to spend on improving their sports facilities.
In addition to this, one lucky school will win a training session with Aldi Play Rugby Ambassador, Paul O’Connell along with a new set of school jerseys.
And every primary school that returns a fully completed poster, will receive an Aldi Play Rugby Kit.
Shoppers can collect a sticker at Aldi for every €30 they spend in store between August 10 and November 8.
Aldi will send two Aldi Play Rugby Poster to every school in the country which the stickers can be added to.
For every 300 stickers collected, schools are in with a chance of winning one of the prizes.
Speaking about the return of the competition, Aldi Play Rugby Ambassador Paul O’Connell said: “Good quality coaching, equipment and facilities make a huge difference in the early years of developing as a player.
"Aldi Play Rugby is already making a real impact with young kids, having helped over 109,000 girls and boys to lead a more active and healthy lifestyle through rugby.
"The atmosphere when I visited one of the winning primary schools in May to tell them they had won €50,000 was electric, so I’d encourage every Irish primary school to get involved, and for Aldi shoppers to get behind their local schools and help them reach that 300 sticker goal .”
Aldi Ireland Group Buying Director John Curtin added: “Any school teacher or principal will tell you how challenging it is to fundraise for new school facilities and equipment.
"For the second time this year, we want to help twelve primary schools improve their sports facilities, giving pupils the opportunity to fulfil their potential through playing sport.
"This is a terrific competition prize, and it comes at an exceptional time for Irish rugby with the Irish team having inspired players and supporters of all ages and abilities.”
