St. Patrick Center's Gala in a Box

St. Patrick Center’s first-ever virtual Irish open raised more than $480,000 when it was held at the end of May. The money helps assist those experiencing homelessness. The St. Louis community supported the Irish Open through sponsorships, “virtual gala tables,” “virtual golfer foursomes,” the event committee, promotional “selfie videos,” venue management, live event hosting and production.

Irish Open “galas in a box” included special food and beverage treats for guests participating from home.
