The Ellen Hermanson Foundation is thrilled to host their Summer Gala 2024 fundraising event, to be held on Saturday, July 13th, :6:30PM-11:30PM at Bridgehampton Tennis & Surf Club in Bridgehampton, NY. Enjoy Oceanside cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the deck, dinner, dancing and an auction, followed by an after-party beach bonfire and s’mores.
The Foundation is proud to honor Dr. Fredric Weinbaum, medical doctor extraordinaire and former Chief Administrative Officer/COO of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and The Honorable Rebecca A. Seawright, Member of the New York State Assembly whose 3-D screening bill signed into law expands access to cancer screenings without cost sharing, to include 3-D Mammagraphy. These are two brilliant people who have done so much to make our community a healthier place.
The event will feature DJ Michael of East End Entertainment, cuisine by Robbins Wolfe Eventeurs and Lucas Hunt, President of HUNT Auctioneers and a celebrated American Poet, will be the Master of Ceremonies for the live auction. Jean Shafiroff, noted philanthropist and author, is the Gala Chair, along with the Young Professional Committee, Host Committee and The Board of Directors.
On February 15, 2024 The Ellen Hermanson Foundation awarded $363,000 in grants to further its mission of assisting people being treated for breast cancer. The funding advances the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, where no patients are turned away for lack of insurance and if they cannot pay its local satellite locations and Ellen’s Well, a psychosocial support program for patients. Grants were also awarded to members of The Ellen Hermanson Foundation Community Partnership to support bilingual outreach, social support and breast care education for women without ready access to health care.
Please visit Ellenhermanson.org to purchase gala tickets. Early bird tickets for both young professionals and guest tickets are available until June 30th.
