The Southampton Hospital hosted the 59th Annual Summer Party in support of Jenny and John Paulson Emergency Department, the sole provider of emergency care in the South Fork.
The lavish evening was designed, catered and produced by expert celebrity event planner Larry Scott of Lawrence Scott Events, a long-time supporter of multiple causes, who has been working with Southampton Hospital for the past two years.
Philanthropist and animal-rights advocate Georgina Bloomberg was Honorary Chair, Terrence McNally & Tom Kirdahy and Marigay McKee & Bill Ford were Benefit Chairs, and Douglas Elliman Real Estate was this year’s corporate chair.
Music by the Groove Society serenaded guests as they partook in a delectable all-night feast, and proceeds funded the highly trained team at the Jenny and John Paulson Emergency Department as well as the upcoming Cardiac Catheterization and Electrophysiology Laboratory in the Audrey and Martin Gruss Heart & Stroke Center.
The party raised over $1.5 million for the Foundation.
Hosted by Fox 5 Good Day New York’s Greg Kelly, supporters included Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross and wife Hilary Geary Ross, Southampton Village Mayor Michael Irving and wife Ellen Irving, Somers and Jonathan Farkas, Margo and John Catsimatidis, Julie Ratner, Douglas Elliman Real Estate Chairman Howard M. Lorber, who is also Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Stony Brook Southampton Hospital Foundation, Stony Brook Southampton Hospital Association Chairman Kenneth Wright, and Stony Brook University President Dr. Samuel Stanley.
