Kait's Angels Poker Run Revs Up Sunday On North Fork

PECONIC, NY — A poker run is ready to rev up on the North Fork Sunday, all to raise funds to help community members in need.

August 22 will mark seven years since Kaitlyn Doorhy, a former Mattituck Strawberry Queen, died after being struck by a car while away at college. She was just 20 years old.

In the years since her unthinkable loss, Kaitlyn's legacy of giving back and caring for those in need has lived on through Kait's Angels, a not-for-profit organization organized in her memory to perform good works in the community. Kait's Angels, according to the organization's website, provides financial support, emotional assistance, and other services to people with health issues, employment interruption, and other emergencies.

On Sunday, the 6th Annual Kait's Angels Poker Run & Pig Roast 2021 takes place at 9 a.m. at Breeze Hill Farm, located at 31215 County Road 48 in Peconic.

The event will be held rain or shine — riders, take cars if it rains — and costs $30 per player in advance and $35 at the location; the price includes admission, food, and beverages.

A free T-shirt will be given to the first 100 to register online; to register, click here. The event is sponsored by the Breeze Hill Farm & Preserve, as well as Chris and Mary Pia and family.
