The Irish Heritage Center was founded to promote the Irish Culture through the study of customs, dance, education, film, genealogy, history, language, lectures, literature, music, mythology, poetry, social interaction, song, sport, theater and the visual arts. You don’t have to be Irish to experience all that we have to offer. Everyone is welcome! You just have to want to have a good time.
Description
A Little Bit of Heaven: A Spectacular Fundraiser Honoring Kent and Declan
Join us on a heartfelt Sunday afternoon as we come together to celebrate the enduring legacies of Kent Covey and Declan O’Sullivan—two cherished figures who helped shape the Irish Heritage Center and touched the lives of all who knew them.
This special tribute event features an unforgettable lineup of performances, including the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick Glee Club, the dynamic Burning Celtic Caravan, world-class soprano Virginia Croskery Lauridsen (of the Chicago Phantom Company and winner of the Pavarotti Competition), and other exceptional artists.
Before the concert, the Irish Pub will open at 2:00 PM—offering a warm, welcoming space to share drinks, memories, and stories of Kent and Declan.
As part of the festivities, we’ll hold a raffle with fabulous prizes, including a weeklong stay in a charming Irish-themed cabin near Pigeon Forge, an assortment of Irish whiskeys, and handmade wooden Celtic crosses.
A gourmet luncheon, catered by a master chef, will be held at 12:30 PM for our Archangel Sponsors—an exclusive opportunity to enjoy fine cuisine before the public celebration begins.
