The strengths of Bay Ridge: Benefit concert held at Salty Dog to help four displaced families
Sunday, July 8, was a touching day for the four 81st Street families who were financially, psychologically and emotionally struck by the June 21 fire which left them without a place to live. The community proudly came together to support them with a fundraiser event at the Salty Dog, located on Third Avenue, near Bay Ridge Parkway.
All of the families were overwhelmed by the support, said Bob Howe, a Bay Ridge resident and an immediate victim of the fire.
These are the strengths of Bay Ridge, he said, referring to the Helping Hands Project, and the outstanding job the members did by putting together a fundraiser event only 17 days after the disaster.
