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

August 22 marked 11 heartbreaking 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.

And on Sunday, September 7, that caring work continues as the Kait's Angels' bi-annual "Poker Run & Pig Roast" takes place at the Breeze Hill Farm & Preserve, located at 31215 County Road 48 in Peconic. Check in take place at 9 a.m., with the first car, bike or classic car out at 11 a.m. A pig roast and barbecue follows.

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.
