Summer Social 2026
June 10 | Foster’s Waterfront Pavilion
The Boston Young Partners came together at the beautiful waterfront Foster’s Pavilion, Boston Harbor Hotel on June 10, for their annual Summer Social, a night of celebration, connection, and giving back, marking 40 years of the Irish American Partnership.
More than 100 Young Partners and friends kicked off the summer, jazz trio in the background, while raising vital funds for the O’Neill Schools Program and this year’s grant recipient, Scoil Colmcille in Kilmacrennan, Co. Donegal.
Derek Kelliher, Chair of the Boston Young Partners, shared exciting news from the floor: his family, including IAP Board member Jim Kelliher, generously offered to match every gift made as a result of this Young Partners event. If you haven’t yet given, please consider making a gift before July 4th. And don’t forget to check whether your employer offers a corporate matching gift program!
Rory Brolly brought the Partnership’s impact full circle, recounting his recent visit back to St. Malachy’s College, the Belfast grammar school that received a Young Partners grant in years past. Meeting again with Principal Deirdre McCusker, Rory saw firsthand how that support has carried forward, a reminder of what the Young Partners community makes possible, year after year.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the Kelliher family for their generosity. Together, we’re honoring our heritage by investing in Ireland’s future.

All gifts made in support of the Young Partners Summer Social event will be sent to Scoil Colmcille in Kilmacrennan, Co. Donegal.
