Kelly Donlan, Miss Roar 2010, waiting for Thunder on the Isle.

Kelly Donlon knows SafeNet. This past year, the crowning champion of Miss Roar on the Shore 2010, has assisted the charitable organization with numerous fundraisers geared towards supporting their Big Backyard Children’s Garden project.

“I will always be their Miss Roar on the Shore,” she said.

Each year, Roar on the Shore collects money for a beneficiary. Last year, SafeNet’s Big Backyard Children’s Garden project received a $75,000 donation from the Manufacturer & Business Association, who organize Roar on the Shore. Over the past four years, Roar on the Shore has raised more than $250,000 for regional charitable organizations.
