Southport business plans fundraiser for American Fish family

SOUTHPORT, NC (WWAY) — The Southport community is rallying together after Saturday night’s mass shooting, with a fundraiser planned to support the American Fish Company family.

The event will take place at The Mullet Bar on Tuesday, September 30, from 5 to 9 p.m., featuring live performances from several artists. Organizers say all proceeds will go directly to American Fish Company.

“It’s also a time to come together, lift each other up, and help those who need it most,” The Mullet Bar shared on Facebook.

Due to the overwhelming response, organizers are reminding the community that space is limited. The event will be open to members only.

For those unable to attend, Southport Cares is working with organizers to set up online donation options.

A larger benefit event is also being planned for October 18, with additional details to be announced in the coming days.
