Stationary "Bike-A-Thon" To Benefit Youth Irish Sports Program

Fundraiser at the East Haven Irish American Community Center (IACC) on Sept 14 -- great family fun for all ages!

On Sunday, September 14, sixteen teams named for Irish counties such as Kerry, Sligo, Longford and Tyrone will be “spinning their wheels” to send young players to San Francisco next summer to compete in Gaelic football and hurling, the national sports of Ireland. The event takes place at the Irish American Community Center (IACC), 9 Venice Place, East Haven. Riders register starting at 10 am for a donation of $10 for the chance to win the Ras na hEireann trophy as well as well-deserved “bragging rights.”. Sponsorships are welcome. Competition begins at noon for the hundred-mile stationary bike race. There will be Gaelic games, golfing competition, musical entertainment, kids’ activities and refreshments available.
