“While most people in the public may not be aware of what the Irish Society does, it’s been critical to the success of maintaining and preserving the region’s Irish heritage. The strong sense of Irishness that persists in this region can be traced back to the consistent work of this group.”
“I was fortunate enough to have received scholarship monies from the Irish Society to pursue my college education. Because I had been involved with Irish organizations, including Irish dance, while growing up, the scholarship from the Irish Society meant so much more to me because it came from my own Irish community.”
“Rowing is an old sport that’s growing in popularity like it’s a new one in Pittsburgh. It’s a sport that is helping revitalize the energy in the region for younger generations, capitalizing on the city’s rivers. Fortunately for our rowing club, the Irish Society has provided vital support to our own efforts to grow and expand”
