Nominations are now open for the Cheers to Public Service awards put on by Irish 31’s iCare Foundation. This program recognizes and rewards extraordinary local educators who undeniably impact the lives of our children and our community as a whole.
Tampa Bay area teachers are being recognized for their hard work and dedication to the classroom through a local initiative, and the public is asked to help in the process.
Irish 31 is now accepting nominations for its 6th Annual Cheers to Public Service Awards where 25 teachers will each receive $1000 to spend on themselves.
It’s known for great food and cold beer, but Irish 31 is more than just a fun place to eat. For the past five years, the restaurant chain has been helping the community through its non-profit, the iCare Foundation.
For the fourth year in a row, Irish 31’s iCare Foundation will launch its annual Cheers to Public Service Awards, which recognizes and rewards extraordinary local educators with $1000 each and other prizes from Pillar Partners.
