An AnyCard is GroupTogether's way of making wonderful gift-giving even easier. Why sweat what the perfect gift might be when you can let the recipient choose the perfect gift for themselves? Genius!

The AnyCard is a credit with GroupTogether that can be swapped by the recipient for any retailer eGift card that they would like best (over 70+ to choose from). That way you leave the decision to them without having to ask. They have 3 years to swap it and then the retailer eGift card is good for 3 more years and they don’t have to spend it all in one go.

If you choose the AnyCard we will add back the fees so you can use the total amount collected, and once purchased, we will immediately send you a gift email that you can print & give or forward onto the recipient.

Managers and coaches are almost one and the same thing, although managers are often responsible for multiple teams, ordering team uniforms, team fees and other important administrative things, and if a team wins, they’re often unsung heroes about it.

We think giving the team manager a gift is a great idea. Thank them for all the behind the scenes work they do.

If there’s many people helping out, why not look for a GroupTogether gift option? That way you can split the thank you amongst many people.
