UCP and Redstone Federal Credit Union Present

An Irish Evening

Huntsville, AL – United Cerebral Palsy and Redstone Federal Credit Union are pleased to announce that the Eighth Annual Irish Evening will take place on St. Patrick’s Day, Friday, March 17, at the Von Braun Center North Hall. Festivities begin at 6 p.m.; dinner will be served at 7 p.m.

Guests will enjoy an expanded menu of Irish cuisine and appetizers prepared by the Von Braun Center's Chef James Johnson. The evening’s entertainment will include Celtic music by SligJig, the Nashville Irish Step Dancers of Huntsville and dance tunes by America’s Party Pro’s. John Malone and Abby Kay from Lite 96.9 will serve as masters of ceremony.

Live and silent auctions will feature many outstanding vacation packages including trips to Atlanta, Memphis and New York; fine jewelry compliments of Donny’s Diamond Gallery; authentic Belleek china and Galway crystal from Ireland; along with many items donated by regional businesses.

Last year this festive event raised $47,000 for children and adults with disabilities in Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley. UCP, a 501(c)(3) organization, operates a regional therapeutic and educational center in Huntsville for individuals in the North Alabama area with cerebral palsy and other physical disabilities. While affiliated with a national organization, UCP centers are locally organized and responsible for raising all funds to serve local clients.

Redstone Federal Credit Union is the event’s presenting sponsor. Other sponsors include Colonial Graphics Group, Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Teledyne Brown Engineering, and Lite 96.9.

Tickets may be purchased in advance for $60 per person or $480 per table. An Irish Evening is a sure sell-out event each year, so call 256-859-4900 now for your reservations.
