Welcoming Honoree
Lady Mary Peters
Celebrated Northern Irish Olympic Champion & Founder of the Mary Peters Trust
Nollaig na mBan [Women’s Christmas], is held each year in January throughout Ireland to celebrate women’s leadership within the family and community. The Irish American Partnership commemorates this tradition with a celebration event highlighting Irish and Irish-American female leaders and the positive impact they have worldwide.
Join us on January 8, as we welcome Lady Mary Peters as our vanguard of women’s leadership in sport. Lady Peters will share the incredible story of her gold medal win for the pentathlon at the 1972 Munich Olympics and reflect on her remarkable career. A beloved figure in her adopted home of Northern Ireland, Lady Peters has spent decades promoting and encouraging its young sportspeople. From establishing its first high-standard synthetic athletic track, to founding the Mary Peters Trust, she has been a stalwart ambassador for sport, and for Northern Ireland.
In honor of our 2025 Honoree of our Nollaig na mBan Women’s Leadership Celebration, the Partnership will make a gift to the Mary Peters Trust – Northern Ireland’s leading sporting charity which helps young people of all physical abilities achieve their sporting dreams and ambitions.
Your support of the event will have a direct impact on the Partnership mission and grantees across the island of Ireland.
