On March 23, at 7 p.m., there will be an art exhibit, presentation and fundraising reception to launch the Winged Fist Project of the Greater Astoria Historical Society in the historic Quinn Building, 35-20 Broadway in Long Island City. This event will feature an exhibit of color trading cards of the Irish American Athletic Club athletes from 1910, historical photos and original medals and trophies won by the Irish American Athletic Club more than one hundred years ago.



The Winged Fist Organization was founded in the summer of 2008 (one hundred years after the Irish American Athletic Club's outstanding peformance at the 1908 Olympics in London) to preserve the legacy of the Irish American Athletic Club and to bring their athletic accomplishments to the attention of the public. In January of 2009, the Winged Fist Project became a sponsored project of the Greater Astoria Historical Society, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions to the Winged Fist Project to support our research may be made to the Greater Astoria Historical Society, and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
