In a heartwarming set of events, the charming town of Outer Banks has something to celebrate as the Outer Banks Hotline, a vital resource for those battling domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking, has been awarded a whopping $60,000 from the BITCHSTIX annual giving program!

So, how did this come to be? Well, the credit goes to Kitty Hawk Kites, a retailer known for its commitment to community welfare. They decided to stand behind the Outer Banks Hotline and submitted a nomination that was sent in with great enthusiasm.

Their work aligns with our values of compassion, safety, and empowerment.”

A Heartfelt Reaction

Bronwyn Thornton, the executive director of the Hotline, couldn’t hold back her gratitude. “We are deeply grateful to Kitty Hawk Kites for nominating Outer Banks Hotline for the BITCHSTIX financial award, and to BITCHSTIX for their generous donation,” she remarked. “This support is incredibly meaningful as it helps us continue our mission of providing assistance and resources to individuals and families affected by domestic violence and sexual assault in our community. The funds will allow us to reach even more individuals in need, and for that, we sincerely thank both Kitty Hawk Kites and BITCHSTIX.” Now that’s a proper thank you!

The announcement also shed light on BITCHSTIX’s history of giving back to the community and their dedication to supporting organizations at the forefront of fighting against domestic violence and sexual assault. This year’s annual giving reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility. Emily Kennerk, the founder of BITCHSTIX, chimed in on the excitement, saying, “We are honored to support the incredible work of Outer Banks Hotline. Their commitment to providing safe shelter and resources to survivors is truly inspiring, and their mission aligns perfectly with our values as a company.” Talk about a match made in heaven!
