The Irish Echo names Darcy Young A 2022 Top 40 Under 40

The Irish Echo, since 1928, the premier news title in Irish America, presented Darcy Young with a Top 40 Under 40 award at its 15th annual event at Rosie O’Gradys in New York City on February 25th. The hugely popular event is a celebration of Irish and Irish Americans who have distinguished themselves in their respective fields of work before reaching the age of forty.

Darcy was selected for her service to Irish community. A former Colleen, she currently serves as the Communications Chair for the Springfield St. Patrick’s Parade Committee and has served on the board and many of the sub-committees. The Springfield St. Patrick’s Parade Committee promotes and celebrates Irish heritage in Western MA by enriching experiences for its members, yearly honorees, including scholarships for students. One of her favorite volunteer efforts is chaperoning the Colleen and her Court every year as they travel to a variety of public presentations to share their Irish Heritage. She is also a member of the John Boyle O’Reilly Club.

“Even amongst such an impressive group, Darcy stood out because of her dedication and hard work supporting Irish culture in her community,” said Mary Cate Mannion, a colleague of Darcy’s who also attended the event in Manhattan.

Darcy served as a media professional for more than a decade, first at ABC and FOX news affiliates and most recently as Director of Digital Public Relations at Garvey Communication Associates, Inc. and a Video Producer at New England Corporate Video.

She also serves on the executive board of the Children’s Study Home. Darcy lives in Palmer, MA with her husband Mike and 5-month-old daughter Delaney.
