The focus of the parade is to promote Irish heritage in the Sound Shore community, and to provide college scholarships to local students. The goal of the parade committee each year is to produce a quality family event that celebrates the great contributions of the Irish and Irish Americans in the Sound Shore area.

The Parade's Grand Marshal, Bob McCooey, Jr., has been deeply involved in the community. He served for over a decade on the boards of Iona Preparatory School, the Holy Cross Leadership Council and St. Vincent's Hospital, Westchester.
