--- OUR STORY
Making a lasting impact
The Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of the Jersey Shore grew from a conversation on the 1973 N.J. Chamber of Commerce train ride to Washington. What began as a small gathering at The Molly Pitcher Inn has grown into one of the Shore's most respected charitable organizations.
Through the Black Tie Dinner, Ad Journal, Golf Classic, and the generosity of corporate and individual donors, the organization has awarded over $975,000 in grants to deserving high school seniors.

May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always
at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields.
