The Irish Fair Foundation, Inc

 (Purpose and Goals)

 The Irish Fair Foundation, Inc., is dedicated to preserving and promoting Irish and Irish-American culture in the Southern California area. Its primary goal is to present and preserve our Irish Cultural by sponsoring events that will promote our “Irish dance, music, theatre, language and all other aspects of our heritage.” Since 1974, the Foundation has sponsored the "GREAT AMERICAN IRISH FAIR AND MUSIC FESTIVAL" the largest event of its kind on the West Coast and one that annually attracts over 30,000 visitors. The Foundation also sponsors and supports the annual "ROSE OF TRALEE PAGEANT AND PRESENTATION and the LOS ANGELES St. PATRICK’S DAY BALL,  THE LOS ANGELES St. PATRICK’S DAY CIVIC DAY CEREMONIES and the presentation of the IRISH MAN AND WOMAN of the YEAR AWARDS" and it is involved in numerous St. Patrick's Day parades and other activities. In addition, it publishes the "IRISH YEAR BOOK", NEWSPAPER . and provides workshops for the study of Gaelic language, Irish step dancing, history, music and art. Additionally, it supports sporting activities by contributing funds to local athletic teams and in the past, by sponsoring the "ALL IRELAND/CHAMPION, GAELIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION AMERICAN TOUR." The Irish Fair Foundation was also the official Irish entry in the opening ceremonies for the 1984 Olympics. The Irish Fair Foundation, Inc., is the focal point for over 1.7 million Irish-Americans in the Southern California area. The Foundation also provides a communications network for approximately 250 Irish social, cultural, athletic and other clubs that participate in the Foundation's events. The Foundation is a non-profit, cultural and educational corporation. It is non-sectarian and non-political. Its activities are guided by a volunteer Board of Directors with each Officer and Board Member responsible for different aspects of the organization. The Irish Fair Foundation is led by a cadre of individuals whose efforts are supported by hundreds and enjoyed by thousands!
