Many other live and silent auction items will be available.

The event was created in 2009 to raise funds for the scholarships given to area students in honor of Connor Corish. He was 15 when he was struck and killed by a train in 2008. The Nanuet resident was a freshman at Don Bosco Prepatory High School in Ramsey, N.J., at the time.

One scholarship is given each year to an eighth grade student from Rockland or Bergen County seeking to enter Don Bosco and one scholarship is given to a Nanuet High School senior who has been accepted at a college or university. Eight area students have been awarded scholarships.
