Dear Friends:

Thank you for reviewing our web site.  As a dance lover I am sure you already know that Cumann Rince Náisiúnta (CRN) is an international organization dedicated to the encouragement and preservation of Irish Dance.

For 27 years the Irish Open Dance Championships were held in Dublin, Ireland. 
In 2009 CRN developed a broader international roster and the First North American Open Irish Dance Championships were introduced.  The competitions were held in San Francisco at the Hilton Hotel over the weekend of October 30 through 31, 2009.  Dancers from all over the world participated in both individual and team events.  Many fulfilled a dream of returning home with medals and cups specifically designed for the event.

We are pleased to confirm that the Second Annual Open Irish Dance Champions are scheduled for The Marriott Hotel, Disneyland/Anaheim over the Halloween week-end of Friday, October 29 through Saturday, October 30, 2010.

As you can imagine, a cultural event of this magnitude continues to require significant resources.  We would appreciate your help!  Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to support our annual event.  You might consider sponsoring a Championship trophy that would bear the name of your company or organization.  Also, we would welcome donations of goods and/or services.

Thank you for considering a sponsorship position with CRN.  On behalf of Cumann Rince Náisiúnta North America, and the dancers who will compete this fall, we thank you for your support and generosity.

Sincerely,

Brian Cleary, A.D.C.R.N.
