Pari Livermore and Kathy McGee Burns founded
The Friends of Irish Women to support Philadelphia Area Irish Women in crisis.
With a mission to share joy and hope with deserving women from the Philadelphia Area Irish Community during the holiday season, The Friends of Irish Women have been raising funds for women in crisis since 2021.
For their first year the Friends identified 5 women who needed support and distributed the funds they raised to them. Motivated by their first successful year the group continues to expand its membership to ensure their work continues and increases their ability to brighten the holiday season for the Irish women who need it most.

“The Top 100 Irish Women event was a huge success not only for the donations it raised for the Irish Center but for bringing back to the Irish Center many women and their friends and families who had not visited in many years.”
