Join Partnership friends, Chicago-area business, political, and community leaders, as we celebrate the most Irish of holidays, St. Patrick’s Day! We celebrate the deep bond between Ireland and the United States—a connection rooted in history and strengthened by a shared vision for a brighter future. This enduring partnership continues to enrich lives on both sides of the Atlantic.

We are especially delighted to celebrate the Partnership’s first Chicago event of 2026 – marking our 40th anniversary year. For forty years, our community has come together to invest in education, opportunity, and hope for young people, and we are deeply grateful for your support as we commemorate this milestone year.

The Irish American Partnership is honored to welcome Ireland’s Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, James Browne, TD as our keynote speaker.

Dedicated to connecting Irish America and friends of Ireland to their heritage through targeted giving, Irish American Partnership supporters have raised more than $63 million for young people and communities across the island of Ireland. We are especially delighted to celebrate as this gathering marks the Irish American Partnership’s 40th anniversary year – four decades of impact across the island of Ireland. For forty years, our community has come together to invest in education, opportunity, and hope for young people, and we are deeply grateful for your support as we embark on this milestone year.

Your support of the event has a direct impact on the Partnership mission and grantees.
