ABOUT THE SOBER ST. PATRICK'S DAY® TEAM
Sober St. Patrick’s Day® was created by award-winning theater and television producer, William Spencer Reilly, who almost lost a member of his family to addiction in 2004. He first proposed the idea to leaders in the recovery and Irish American communities, a pitch that led, a year later, to the 2012 inaugural party. Now an annual event, Sober St. Patrick’s Day® is held on parade day in New York City. It continues to grow throughout the world.
Special thanks to Noel Kilkenny, Former Consul General of Ireland; Todd Whitmer, VP of Caron Treatment Centers (New York); Robert Lindsey, Chief Executive Officer, Friends of Recovery-New York: Sis Wenger, President of NACoA (National Association for Children of Alcoholics); John T. Evans, Esq. of the William C. Dowling Jr. Foundation; Former Deputy Consul General of Ireland, Peter Ryan; Media Executive, Maura Kelly, and Ruth Riddick.
