The first annual fundraiser for the newly formed Ring 10, scheduled for this Saturday at Russo’s on the Bay in Howard Beach, has been postponed because of the expected bad weather brought upon by Hurricane Irene.

“Following consultation with our Board and the local authorities, it was determined that the upcoming hurricane along with its bad weather and the effect that the expectant rain and strong winds will cause will pose a risk to our guests,” Matt Farrago, president of Ring 10, said in a statement.

“It will make gaining access to Russo's virtually impossible for both drivers and people travelling by air alike.”

No makeup date has been announced yet.
