Sile Maloney, editor-in-chief of Norwood News, will serve as the evening’s Mistress of Ceremonies.

The ceremony includes performances by Pamela Geraghty and Aoife Fleming from the Loughran School of Music; the FDNY’s Pipes & Drums; and Father David Power from St. Helen’s Church. Honorees this year are James (Jimmy) Casey, Brian Golden and Pat Golden from Terry Dalton Jr. for Toys for Kids; Kim Furletti, president of Woodlawn; Siobhan Dennehy, director of the Emerald Isle Immigration Center; and Deirdre Sekulic, assistant director of social work at Montefiore’s Department of Social Services.
