This event is being held in honor of the late Dort Byrne, a cherished member of the Shamrock Club for over 50 years. Dort was the wife of Past President Murdith P. Byrne (1970), sister-in-law of Past President Joseph Byrne (1980), mother of Past Presidents Patrick Byrne (2001) and Thomas Byrne (2006), and mother-in-law of Past President Molly Byrne (2011). Most importantly, Dort was mother to the official Shamrock Club of Columbus Leprechaun, Brian B. Byrne.

Dort was a pillar in the Irish community and an avid euchre player, known for her many trophies. Her grandchildren requested this event to honor Dort on the same weekend she would have celebrated her 91st birthday. Dort shared her birthday with her daughter Mollie and the two were always sure to celebrate together. This is an annual tournament to continue that celebration each year. Proceeds from this event will be donated to Special Olympics of Ohio, St. Aloysius Community Outreach, and Dead Theologians Society, reflecting Dort’s legacy of love and community spirit.
