Harald Mießner and Michael Paterno on behalf of the BILLA Executive Board: "Sports clubs are at the heart of many communities. They bring people together, promote physical and mental health and strengthen the community. With our BILLA campaign, we want to support this important work and offer them a platform to continue to grow. The great response in recent years has shown how important this commitment is. We are delighted that we have already been able to help thousands of clubs - and hope that many will join in again this year!"
Sport Austria President Hans Niessl: "Austria's 15,000 sports clubs make an invaluable contribution - economically, in terms of health and socially. Our goal is to get more people to exercise more. The daily exercise session is a central project at the heart of this. I welcome any initiative that supports sport and am delighted that BILLA is making a valuable contribution for the third time with this campaign."
Here's how it works - take part now and fulfil your club's wishes!
There is one raffle ticket for every €15 spent at BILLA, BILLA PLUS and BILLA Corso stores and in the BILLA online shop. Collected raffle tickets can either be allocated to a club online at billa.at/meinverein or handed in personally. Customers without a favourite club have the option of allocating their raffle tickets to ‘Ferdl's Club Box Office’, which will be divided among the 30 winning clubs at the end of the campaign.
Sports clubs can redeem their raffle tickets for over 100 free prizes - including many exciting new items such as a reaction training set or a pickleball set. In addition, in co-operation with the ÖBSV, a number of sports articles have been selected that are particularly suitable for disabled sports. Every amateur sports club registered in Austria is entitled to take part in the BILLA promotion. A new registration is necessary in any case, even if the club already took part in the campaign in the previous year. Important information on participation and key dates can be found in the info box below.
