One of our favorite benefits returned for a wonderful evening of philanthropy and fun. The Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation’s 18th Annual Hamptons Happening took place over the weekend. It’s one of the Hamptons’ most-anticipated summer social events. The benefit was once again, hosted on the beautiful Bridgehampton estate of Kenneth and Maria Fishel. More than 300 guests attended and more than $400,000 was raised for cancer research.
Every year, The Hamptons Happening is among the most eagerly awaited events of the Hamptons Summer season. The benefit is a scrumptious celebration of New York’s finest cuisine, personally presented by 20 of the top chefs of the most celebrated restaurants in New York City and the Hamptons. Guests indulged their appetites for the savory and the sweet, mixed and mingled, bid on exciting live and silent auction items and danced to world-renowned bluegrass band Sheriff and The Deputy all the while collaborating to fund the quest for a cure for cancer.
