Sober St. Patrick’s Day Foundation, Inc.’s mission is "to reclaim the true spirit of St. Patrick's Day by changing the perception and experience from an occasion for binge drinking and other misuse of alcohol to a celebration of the richness of Irish culture and the legacy of St. Patrick."

We look forward to promoting these ideals and messages with you.
