Honoring & Remembering Our Friend, Jim McLaughlin
On July 24th, 2015, we lost founding board member and past president, Jim McLaughlin, to brain cancer. Jim, a Havertown resident, was a proud graduate of Monsignor Bonner High School and Saint Joseph’s University.
In the early days of the Irish Chamber, together with a close-knit group of colleagues and friends, Jim helped the Chamber flourish. He served on our board until June, 2013, including a term as president. Jim possessed a natural skill of networking and connecting people, and mentored many fellow Chamber members throughout his 16-year history with the Irish Chamber. He attended nearly every event and made every effort to make all members feel welcome.

To honor Jim, and continue his legacy of service and loyalty, we have started the “James J. McLaughlin, Jr. ’70 Memorial Scholarship Fund” at Saint Joseph’s University. Our Board members have generously pledged their support to start the scholarship fund, but we need your help to reach our goal of $50,000!
Join us as we celebrate Jim’s life at a networking cocktail reception which will feature live Irish music, great company, and a silent auction. 100% of the proceeds from our auction will be donated to our scholarship fund.
Donations may be made directly to the Scholarship Fund via their website or by check.
** Very important: If you donate online, please select the option “Direct gift to area(s) of my choice.” In the “Other Designation” section, please note “James J. McLaughlin, Jr. ’70 Scholarship Fund”.
