The American Ireland Funds in Washington DC will mark their 15th anniversary with
a National Gala and Awards dinner under patronage of An Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern.
A peace award will be given to Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the US House of Representatives.

A portion of the proceeds from the gala, which will be a significant six figure
sum, will be donated to programs that are unique to Washington DC, including the
Washington-Ireland Program For Service And Leadership and Peace Players International.

The gala will take place in the prestigious National Building Museum on 14th March,
with individual tickets starting at ‚€1000.
