A retired New York City firefighter, and current mayor of Wall Township, hopes to raise thousands of dollars for the Tunnel to Towers charity.

Twenty one years ago, Kevin Orender had just retired from the FDNY, Ladder 11, and watched in horror as his friends gave their lives to help so many others.

Orender hosted an event Friday evening at the Oak Tree Lodge in Wall. He hopes to raise $15,000 for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. He says the foundation recently started an education awareness program for students.

The event featured live music, food trucks and a light tribute.
