Tesco pick the three causes or groups from the applications and every time customers shop in their local Tesco store, they receive a blue token at the checkout to place in the donation box of the local good cause they would most like to support.
At the end of the eight weeks the blue tokens are weighed and €1,000 euros is divided up and presented to the local causes.
Three GAA clubs are the current groups that will benefit from the fund – Austin Stacks, Abbeydorney and Firies.
