The Grand Hall at The Priory Hosts Riley's Pour House Fundraiser

Thursday, September 18, 2025

It was such an honor for us to sponsor and host the magnificent Raise a Glass to Rebuild Riley’s Pour House concert fundraiser in our Grand Hall at The Priory Hotel.

On August 24th, over twenty entertainers performed for more than 750 community members in the name of rebuilding Riley’s Pour House.

The Irish pub burned down in a tragic fire last November, but now with the help of insurance, their own contributions, and the almost $70,000 raised through the Raise a Glass event, the owners of the beloved Carnegie icon are hoping and planning to re-open the newly imagined pub in 2026!

What an honor it was to be involved in such a spectacular and fun day of music, cheer, and generosity. We are beyond grateful to the bands, DJ Paulie Walnutz, Joanna Abel of 3rd Street Belly Dancing, Larry Rippel photography, the unbreakable community of Carnegie, and everyone who helped make the fundraiser a success!
