The Riverhead Key Club raised almost $800 to help offset Michael Hubbard's medical bills.
Nearly 100 people braved the blazing heat to attend a Battle of the Bands competition in Stotzky Park to benefit a local Riverhead boy who was badly burned in an exploding gel candle accident. The competition was organized by the Riverhead Key Club, a high school service group, and raised about $800 to help offset Michael Hubbard's medical bills.
