The foundation helps Hatteras Island cancer patients pay for treatment not covered by insurance and also aids them with travel for treatment.  Also, this year the foundation will make a donation to the tri-village flood victims. Participants are asked to bring a canned food for the tri-village’s food pantry. The forecast is for fair weather on Saturday, but the  rain date is Sunday, Oct. 9.
