The parade committee and 2022 parade co-Grand Marshals Kate Bialo and Joe Durney along with 2023 Grand Marshal Tony O’Callaghan officially presented these deserving students with their scholarships at the Sedona Taphouse in Mamaroneck.  

$46,000 in scholarships has been awarded in a tradition that began with the first Sound Shore St. Patrick’s Day Parade. “Our aim has always been two things”, said Parade President Joe Mauro, “To organize a great parade event for the Sound Shore community and provide for scholarships for deserving students. We’re grateful for the opportunity to make a small difference in these admirable young people’s lives.”

The Sound Shore St. Patrick’s Day Parade is a celebration of Irish American heritage and the American immigrant experience for the entire Sound Shore community, from Port Chester to Pelham, marching down Mamaroneck Avenue through the village of Mamaroneck to Harbor Island, the best place to march in a St. Patrick’s Day Parade celebration this side of Dublin City.
