In September 2024, the Sons of Erin Foundation sponsored a Silent Auction Item for the First Annual Green Tie Gala hosted by the Irish Network Nashville. We’re proud to support the INN’s work in Middle Tennessee as they provide opportunities for locals to connect, professionally and socially, with the dynamic Irish and Irish-American diaspora with events, membership, and the Official Nashville St Patrick’s Day Parade in which the Ancient Order of Hibernians march annually!
Sons of Erin Foundation, Inc. was inspired in part by the Ancient Order of Hibernians Sons of Erin Division One in Nashville, TN. Learn more about AOH here.
