On Sunday, March 13th, The American Ireland Fund and sponsors Sean Rooney, The Haverford Trust Company and Cozen O'Connor hosted the 4th annual Afternoon with The Chieftains at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Philadelphia.

Following the typical award-winning performance by The Chieftains, AIF guests and Golf Committee members gathered in the Cadence Restaurant for a reception which included a visit from Paddy Maloney and the band. Guests were then introduced to Joseph McLaughlin, President of The Haverford Trust Company, as the Chairman of the 4th Annual AIF Philadelphia Golf Classic.

With Philadelphia's St. Patrick's Day parade concluded just hours before, the festive mood of the afternoon was enhanced when Jim Lynch, President & CEO of Sovereign Bank Mid-Atlantic and last year's Committee Chairman, announced that the AIF Phildelphia Golf Classic had raised $640,000 to date to support worthy projects throughout Ireland.

Next up is the 4th Annual Philadelphia Golf Classic taking place on Monday, September 19th at the Philadelphia Cricket Club and the ACE Club.
