NORWOOD PARK — Resurrection College Prep High School is putting out an open invite for adults to join in a night of cocktails, food and prizes to benefit the school, 7500 W. Talcott Ave., on Saturday.

Attendees will be able to enter auctions or raffles with prizes as high as $10,000, including an autographed poster from pop star Shawn Mendes' Dec. 9 visit to the school. Raffle proceeds will go toward a scholarship for students who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford the school, according to an announcement for the event.

The gala will feature Blackhawks hall of famer Tony Esposito as a "celebrity guest."

Two of the school’s "most prestigious awards" will be presented at the event. The Renaissance Award will be given to alumna Dr. Leanne Weidemann, and the Charity & Truth Award will go the Rev. Britto Berchmans from St. Paul of the Cross parish.

Attendees can register for the gala or buy raffle tickets at the Resurrection website.

The gala is set for 6 p.m. Saturday at Cafe La Cave, 2777 Manheim Road in suburban Des Plaines. Tickets are $150.
