OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) - An Ocean City group is hosting the last of four fundraisers to benefit the families of two city police officers who died in a plane crash.

The nonprofit motorcycle club Hogs and Heroes is hosting the fundraiser Friday at Hooters of West Ocean City. It's set to run from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. The group supports public safety, military causes, veterans and wounded warriors.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports the fundraiser will include live music, a silent auction and a raffle.

Funds will be split between the families of officers Tommy Geoghegan and Josh Adickes. They were killed June 30 when their plane crashed in the water.

Hogs and Heroes says donations will go to the Fraternal Order of Police, which will direct the funds to the two families.
