Local Denverite and LAOH member, Amber McCulloch, was nominated for—and won—the Irish Echo 40 Under 40 Award. She will officially receive this honor later next month, but in the meantime, there’s a People’s Choice Award competition among the 40 winners.
Let’s put one of our own and Colorado Irish organizations even more on the map. Take a second vote here. And if you see Amber, congratulate her!
This past January, the Denver Irish Summit brought together the vibrant heart of the city’s Irish community for a spirited gathering at Celtic on Market. This unique event united local organizations—including Irish Network Colorado, AOH, LAOH, the Denver Gaels, the Colorado Emerald Society, and Denver Celtic Night—to celebrate their shared heritage.
It was a wonderful evening spent making new friends, reconnecting with old ones, and catching up on the exciting initiatives each group has planned for the coming year. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of camaraderie and collective purpose, reinforcing the strong ties that bind Denver’s Irish community together.
We are excited to announce our participation in CharityMania’s FootballMania SuperMatch, a special fundraising event centered around the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 8, 2026. This is a wonderful opportunity for supporters near and far to get involved in a fun, low-stakes game while making a high-impact contribution. Tickets are just $10.00 each, and the results are significant: a full 70% of all sales go directly toward the Leadville Celtic Cross Project and other vital local charities.
The best part about this fundraiser is its simplicity. You don’t need to be a sports expert or a “bracketologist” to participate. There are no complicated picks to make and no high-level math required to track your standing. Think of it as a lottery ticket, but with much better odds of winning! Once you’ve purchased your ticket, the system handles the rest, and you will receive an automatic email directly from CharityMania the moment you win. We encourage you to share this opportunity with your own family, friends, and neighbors—the more who play, the more we can give back.
By participating, you are joining a long tradition of service. The Ancient Order of Hibernians is committed to being a force for good, using events like this to fund community outreach, support local parishes, and provide aid to families in need. Every ticket purchased strengthens our ability to protect human dignity and offer a helping hand to our neighbors. Please remember that the last day to purchase tickets is Thursday, February 5, 2026. Let’s work together to make this SuperMatch a major win for our community.
