Irish Charities of Maryland Inc

Irish Charities of Maryland is a 501(c)(3) non profit charitiy whose focus is to further promotion of traditional Irish and Irish American arts, culture and history. We promote and run the Maryland Irish Festival in November, in which we use the funds to support more than 32 charities including Md. Special Olympics and the Little Sisters of the Poor. We are coming up on our 49th Annual Festival, however, we are in financial jeopary which may mean that there will be no festival for our 49th year.

Covid year was a year without a festival or any fundraising opportunities with which to assist us in paying our bills for things such as storage, insurance and many other fees that we incur. Last year, the weather dampened the festival attendance and that on top of covid, put us in real financial difficulty.

Over the years, our attendance has dwindled as well as the membership for the 14 different charities that come together to put on this event. What we are hoping for is a two-fold assistance. First, we need financial support to have this years festival. Second, we need to extend the ranks of the Irish Organizations. As you may know, the festival is put on by volunteers. These volunteers come form our local Irish Charitable Organizations. In order to keep our heritage moving into the future, we must have people join the organizations and help out.

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Irish Charities of Maryland Inc, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

On Friday, August 12th, at 6;45 PM, a car crashed into Ireland's Four Courts. A 2 alarm fire erupted and was extinguished, but not before extensive damage and sending eight people to the hospital, including four in critical condition. Irish Charities of Maryland are raising money to benefit the staff of Ireland's Four Courts.

For more than two decades, JImmy, John and David have always stepped up for the Irish community in their hour of need. They are the official host of the WAA Arlington Wreath Project team and the LEO Escort to Arlington.

It's our turn to help their staff get by until the restaurant can rebuild. Any donation will help make an impact. We will send the money raised directly to the management to distribute to the staff. This event occurred, and the staff was immediately out of work due to no fault. Let's help them while they sort this out.

Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause, that means so much to us.
