☘️ OUR CENTER. OUR FUTURE. — THE 2026/27 IAHC ANNUAL APPEAL IS UNDERWAY! 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 The Irish American Heritage Center is more than a building. It’s where we gather with family and friends, celebrate our heritage, hear our music, share our stories, welcome visitors, and pass Irish and Irish American traditions on to the next generation. This year, we’re asking our community to help us raise $100,000 to preserve, improve, and invest in the building and spaces that make everything we do possible. 🏛️💚 Funds raised will support essential projects throughout the Center, including building tuck-pointing, flooring and refinishing in heavily used spaces, parking lot maintenance, new air-conditioning units in our rental rooms, updated window treatments, and new tents for our outdoor festivals and events. And there’s even more reason to give now: ✨ THE FIRST $25,000 RAISED WILL BE MATCHED DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR thanks to the incredible generosity of an IAHC member! ✨ That means: $50 becomes $100 $250 becomes $500 $500 becomes $1,000 Every donation—large or small—helps us care for the Center today while protecting it for the generations that will call it home tomorrow. 💚 Help us reach our $100,000 goal and make your gift go twice as far during our matching challenge. Our Center. Our Future. Together, let’s preserve what previous generations built and prepare it for the generations still to come. ☘️ taken in Irish American Heritage Center by @iahcchicago
