Hartford AOH Division recently completed its March Calendar Raffle, which is annually one of its major fundraisers. Despite COVD-19, the Division was able to raise $2,500 from the raffle, which features a daily cash prize each day during March.
The Division donated $1,000 to the Central Connecticut Celtic Cultural Committee for the 2022 Hartford Saint Patrick’s Day parade. Like most parades, the Hartford event has not taken place the past two years, but we will march again in 2022!
A $500 gift was presented to help rebuild the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a center serving children and their families coping with cancer and other serious illnesses and conditions. The camp, located in Ashford, Conn, was founded by Paul Newman in 1988 and suffered a devastating fire in February.
An additional $1,000 will be used to support local charities in the Hartford area.
Proceeds from the final three weeks of sales of the Hartford AOH March Calendar Raffle were donated to The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, Conn. Here is Andrea Keefe from the camp with the “check”. The Hartford AOH presented a check for $1,000 to the Central Connecticut Celtic Cultural Center on April 10 from a portion of the proceeds of our March Calendar Raffle.
