The Tooheys New Footy Fund focuses on supporting senior rugby league and rugby union clubs in regional NSW.
Codes inside every specially marked carton of Tooheys New (worth 20 reward points) can be allocated to the favourite participating senior footy club online.
Once enough points are accrued, clubs can redeem them for new footy gear.
Last year, the Scorpions racked up 9500 points, placing them ninth out of 345 clubs in NSW.
That enabled them to score some footballs and field bolsters - and they are hoping to earn more gear this season.
Club president Kevin Maher said the campaign had been a fantastic way to get supporters engaged with the club.
He said the club had its eye on a massage table, esky, footballs and new corner posts.
"We have always been grateful for the ongoing support from our fans that show up every week to cheer on the teams, come rain, hail or shine," Mr Maher said.
