​ABOUT THE FUND

The Charlie Dunlop Memorial Fund has been established in loving memory of Charlie Dunlop. Husband, father, son, brother and friend.

 

Charles J. Dunlop was born into this world on July 9th, 1966 and was raised in the village of Donaghmore, Co. Tyrone, Ireland.  As a young boy, Charlie attended St. Patrick’s Primary School and continued his education at the intermediate in Dungannon.  He then went on to the Tech and studied to become an electrician.

In 1987, at the age of 20 Charlie emigrated to the United States.  After a brief stay in Minnesota, he visited Philadelphia.  Charlie made many friends upon his arrival and decided to stay.  He never passed on an opportunity to help others and was always an active member of the Irish Community.  He took part in establishing the Tyrone GFC in Philadelphia and supported all causes in both the Irish and American communities.

In 1995, Charlie met his wife Nancy and they married in June of 2001.  In February 2006 they were blessed with the birth of their son Charles Sean, his proudest accomplishment.

Charlie was a true gentleman in every sense of the word.  His love for people, his warm smile and gentle kindness was apparent upon meeting Charlie.  Charlie was a kind and generous man who was always the first to offer assistance and to contribute to those in need.

 

The Charlie Dunlop Memorial Fund has been established to honor the memory of Charlie and to pay tribute to his endless generosity throughout the years.  Just as Charlie was there for others in their times of need, all proceeds raised by the Charlie Dunlop Memorial Fund will be used to help families that have suffered unexpected and sudden tragedies, as well as those forced to deal with life or death situations.
