"It's just nice to be able to carry on her legacy. This scholarship allows me to further my success within the department at ESU, and I just hope that I am able to make her proud in the future with whatever I can do," said Nick Ortiz.
The celebration of life event at The Lounge near Bartonsville will be held on February 21 from 7 p.m to 10 p.m.
A donation of $10 is Elisa Chase's scholarship will be collected at the door.
Some proceeds from the night will also be donated.
