Pari Livermore and her good friend Kathy McGee Burns are both passionate about supporting the Philadelphia Irish community and bringing everyone together to enjoy music, dancing and Irish culture. Pari especially loves the holiday season and she and Kathy decided to gather their friends for a festive holiday luncheon, and combine their generous spirits during the season of giving to make the holidays brighter for deserving women of Irish ancestry facing challenges. Each year The Friends of Irish Women adds new members who share in spreading holiday hope and joy.
