Attendees can also look forward to participating in a 50/50 raffle where in the past winners have walked away with over $2,000. There is also the opportunity to participate in this year’s tricky-tray raffle, which includes items like a diamond watch from Eloquent Essentials, New York Yankee tickets, New York Knicks tickets, Brooklyn Nets tickets, Michael Kors pocketbook and wallet, New York Islander tickets, a wine refrigerator, a grand prize of golf for four at the Montclair Golf Club ($1,000 value) and so much more.
