Catholic Charities annual gala fundraiser, Irish Fest, will be held on March 14, 2015 at the Embassy Suites La Vista Conference Center. This year’s theme is Cruisin’ in Clover and the evening will start with cocktails and silent auction followed by dinner and a live auction. Entertainment provided by Pink Kadillac will keep all in attendance dancing throughout the night!

Honorary chairs for 2015 are Sharon and Norm Timmerman. Event co-chairs are Kathy and Jeff Neary and Mike and Kyle Robino. Over 700 individuals attend each year, helping to raise over $400,000 for Catholic Charities.

All proceeds from Irish Fest will be used to serve the over 100,000 local individuals who turn to Catholic Charities each year. For over 85 years, Catholic Charities has advocated for the poor and marginalized through programs ranging from mental health services, domestic violence advocacy, adoption, hunger relief, senior services, microbusiness training and more.
