Kait’s Angels held its third annual Designer Handbag Wingo at Macari Vineyards & Winery in Cutchogue last night.

The popular event drew hundreds of people in support of Kait’s Angels, a non-profit organization which supports local services and programs on the North Fork throughout the year. The organization was formed in memory of Kaitlyn Doohry, who died after being struck by a vehicle near Sacred Heart University shortly after returning for her junior year of college in August of 2014.  She was just 20 years old.

Local businesses and community members donated hundreds of items and services as prizes while others supported Kait’s Angels with sponsorships.
