An End of Summer Party and Community Fundraiser to raise money for the local Hatteras Island Rescue Squad (HIRS) will be held on Thursday, August 17, at the Koru Beach Klub in Avon Village at 7:00 p.m.
The event will feature local 1980s dance band Raygun Ruby, with all proceeds from the concert benefitting the HIRS in an effort to help the organization purchase a new rescue ski.
The all-volunteer Hatteras Island Rescue Squad patrols the southern Hatteras Island beaches during the summer months and responds to area emergencies, and the organization also performs a number of community service initiatives, including hosting regular CPR classes for the public.
