This event is free and open to all who have pre-registered!!

We are happy to announce the title sponsor for our live auction will be as Cow Bell Restaurants and Two Greeks Ventures - of which former baseball standout Alex Markakis '14 is a co-owner. 

Head Coach Will Sanborn '86 will kick off the day with a brief preview of the season and introduction of the team and coaching staff. President Joe Cassidy will also speak to the Monk's faithful. Many appealing auction items will be available for bidding, including tickets for sporting events, memorabilia, gift cards, gift baskets, vacation packages and much, much more.
