GPA fundraiser sells out
The event, which takes place in the Marriott Marquis hotel close to Times Square, will honour Donald R Keough, chairman of the Board of Allen and Company Inc and former president of The Coca-Cola Company.
Former Irish Examiner journalist Declan Kelly’s global consulting firm, Teneo Holdings, is sponsoring the night, which will be attended by all the travelling 2011 and 2012 All Star footballers. It had been speculated the GPA would be happy to break even on this inaugural gala. However, Portroe man Kelly, one of the leading Irish-American businessmen as chief executive of Teneo and brother of current Labour TD Alan, says they stand to make a tidy return on it.
