On St. Patrick’s Day, Martin and Jean Shafiroff hosted a fabulous cocktail party honoring Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. To keep things festive, guests donned their best fashionable green attire. Jean wore a stunning Oscar de la Renta green and gold ballgown.
The Shafiroff’s guests of honor for the evening was legendary photographer Patrick McMullan. In case you didn’t know, McMullan is not only known for his photography but he throws the best St. Patrick’s Day parties (we’ve attended several). Patrick is said to be one of the inventors of modern social and event photography, and the Irish Embassy has called him “a vital Irish American.”
While guests enjoyed drinks and lite bites, Jean took a moment to welcome guests and reminded everyone of the importance of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and how it “was vital to residents of the East End.” She then added with a smile, “there are two things you need – a good hospital and a good ambulance.” She then introduced Patrick calling him, “the icon of icons.” Patrick also stressed the importance of the hospital saying, “I am incredibly grateful for the hospital as, without it, I wouldn’t be here.”
Stony Brook Southampton Hospital’s 61st Annual Summer Party will take place on Saturday, August 3rd, 2019 and will honor Jean and Martin Shafiroff. Jean has also been named to the board of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital Association.
Cheers to Jean and Martin Shafiroff!
