Shore 2 Recover was founded by Toni Pecunia, a resident of Point Pleasant whose home was partially-flooded by the storm, according to the organization's website. The organization has donated funds to various needs, including helping Sandy-impacted families and to St. Paul's kitchen in Bay Head that has been feeding free, hot meals to affected families since shortly after Sandy struck.
Pecunia started the organization "as a way to give back to the community and the many people and groups who rushed to assist the storm-ravaged shore," the website says. The live bands include: Under Pressure; The Mike Dalton Band; Undisputed; The E Street Shuffle; The Replicants; Punch Bully and The Bell Bottom Blues.
