GREENSBORO — The Guilford County Na Cara Division 1 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians recently held a “Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day” fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Greensboro at Sedgefield Country Club’s Cardinal Course Club House.
The event featured a silent auction, games, DJ, the Jamestown Pipe and Drum Band, delicious hors d’ oeuvres and refreshments.
In the spirit of the AOH Motto – “Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity,” a contribution of more than $7,700 was presented to MDA.
In spite of Hurricane Florence’s impact on local weather conditions, the event’s turnout generated the largest single charity contribution made to date by Na Cara.
