The held Sunday, May 31 event will honor Albertus van den Broek and the late Jonathon O'Herron Sr.

Broek and his wife, Patricia, have mentored and financially supported several disadvantaged students through their high school and college journeys.

Albertus van den Broek is also chairman of Kolbe’s advisory board.

O’Harron Sr. had a memorial scholarship fund established in his honor in 2013; the money helps students in lower-income families that cannot maintain tuition payments at Kolbe.

The Kolbe Cathedral High School "2015 Making a Difference Celebration" will begin with Mass at 5:15 p.m. at St. Mary’s Parish, 178 Greenwich Ave., Greenwich.

A banquet will be at 6:30 p.m. at Gabriele's Italian Steakhouse, 35 Church St., Greenwich.

All proceeds will benefit the Jonathan O’Herron Sr. Memorial Scholarship Fund.
