NORTH FORK, NY: Keeping Kaitlyn Doorhy’s Memory Alive
Remembering Kaitlyn Doorhy
It has been 10 years since Kaitlyn Doorhy, a past Mattituck Lions Club Strawberry Queen, passed away tragically at the age of 20. However, her legacy lives on through the efforts of her family and the dedicated volunteers of Kait’s Angels, a not-for-profit organization created to honor her memory by helping those in need in the community.
Kait’s Angels Events
Over the past year, Kait’s Angels has organized a series of events to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Kaitlyn’s passing. One of the highlights was the annual Wingo event held at Peconic Bay Vineyards, where attendees played Wingo for a chance to win designer handbags and gift baskets. The event was a huge success, thanks to the support of the community and generous sponsors.
Community Outreach
In addition to fundraising events, Kait’s Angels has focused on community initiatives such as installing Buddy Benches at local schools to promote friendship and kindness among students. They have also organized a Gift Card & Toy Drive and will be donating LifeVac kits to local schools and police departments to ensure the well-being of the community.
Impact on Individuals
For individuals in the North Fork community, the efforts of Kait’s Angels provide support and resources during challenging times. Families facing medical hardships, students in need of friendship, and those in crisis situations will benefit from the services and initiatives offered by the organization.
Global Impact
While Kait’s Angels focuses on making a difference in the local community, their message of kindness, generosity, and remembrance has the potential to inspire similar acts of compassion on a global scale. The ripple effect of their efforts can foster a sense of community and connection across borders.
Conclusion
