This is their first child, so they are very unprepared. They are staying at the Ronald McDonald House, but they’re having to drive about an hour and a half from Irvington up there to deliver supplies for the baby and see her, so we are having a silent auction.”

The dinner will be held at the Irvington Fire Department at 6 p.m. Eastern on Friday, January 31. Visit Irvington City Hall or contact a member of the fire department for event tickets.
