SLÁINTE 2020
Sláinte is a collective fundraising effort to assist the Irish community
Sláinte 2020 aims to support our communities with assistance
There is a wonderful Irish expression, ‘Ní neart go cur le chéile’ – There’s no strength without unity. We aim to harness the collective reach of well-known Irish organizations to maximize our fundraising potential and provide financial relief for Irish individuals and families adversely impacted by the COVID-19 crisis in the tri-state area. We want to keep our communities together and support them by alleviating some of the stress and anxiety during a time of economic uncertainty
Sláinte 2020 is a partnership consisting of The Aisling Irish Center, Emerald Isle Immigration Center, New York GAA, New York Irish Center and United Irish Counties, five long-established Irish not-for-profit organizations that have solid reputations, strong track records and are well known and trusted by members of the Irish community. It is our hope that this initiative will also be generously supported by the large network of civic and social organizations with close ties to Irish communities across the tri-state region.
