The Eithne & Paddy Fitzpatrick Memorial Fund was created to honor the late parents of The Ireland Funds America Chairman John Fitzpatrick. Since its inception in 1993, it has raised over $3.7 million for deserving charities in Ireland and the U.S. and works very closely with The Ireland Funds to identify projects to support. These include organizations such as Barretstown, the Integrated Education Fund, the Irish Arts Center, and the O’Hanlon Park Boxing Club in Dundalk. The fund’s mission remains the same as it was from the beginning – to actively help better the lives of those in need. Irish Golf Pros, Mark Murphy and Eamonn Darcy, attended the event. Eamonn Darcy conducted a golf clinic before the shotgun start. Mark Murphy was on the 16th hole, holding a contest that gave guests the opportunity to win a world class driver.
