The Young Irish Fellowship Club of Chicago is committed to raising funds to help support local Chicagoland charities and their missions.
At all times, YIFC works with two charities, with the Board voting on a single new charity on an annual basis. Partnerships last for two years. YIFC creates its own events, like happy hours and Forever Green, as well as partnership events, like White Sox and Blackhawks games to raise money for it's partners.
In addition to monetary donations, YIFC educates its members and guests of its events about our charity partners, exposing a new audience to the charities and their missions. The Board of Directors and YIFC members also look forward to volunteering and fundraising events with our charity partners throughout the year.
