Pari Livermore is supporting the Philadelphia Irish Center!
When Pari Livermore found a home in Philadelphia her love of dancing, music and all things Irish drew her to the Commodore John Barry Center for Arts and Culture (The Irish Center). Pari and her wonderful friends, especially Kathy McGee Burns, set to work doing what they could to support the organization and larger Philadelphia community that they love. Pari used her imagination and experience to create fundraising events and parties that have attracted a new and returning audience to share a love of dancing, good food and friendship in support of the Philadelphia area Irish Community.
