Recently, Philanthropist Jean Shafiroff, Julie Ratner and Linda Renk, Co-Founder of Sequin, hosted a cocktail reception benefiting the Ellen Hermanson Foundation at Sequin Southampton.
The soiree served as a “kick-off” event for the upcoming Ellen’s Run 5K, held tomorrow, August 16.
This year, the annual run/walk, which was founded to ensure access to state-of-the-art breast health care and to empower people affected by cancer, is celebrating its 20th Anniversary years of leading the fight on Breast Cancer.
The race/walk starts and ends, rain or shine, at Southampton Hospital’s Parrish Hall on Herrick Road. The 3.1 mile course runs through town, down tree and mansion-lined roads, along the ocean blocks and back.
The run, one of the largest on the South Fork, is sanctioned by the Long Island branch of USA Track and Field.
The event has been named “Best Event in the Hamptons” in 2012, 2013, 2014 by Dan’s Papers.
