SOUTHAMPTON-AUGUST 1: Southampton Hospital's 51st Annual Summer Party-- A Centennial Celebration was held on Saturday August 1, 2009, Wickapogue Road, Southampton, New York. Chaired by Sheila O’Malley Fuchs, the event took place under the tents on Wickapogue Road in Southampton. Christie Brinkley served as honorary chair for this year’s event. As in past years, the evening will benefit the Hospital’s Department of Emergency Medicine. “Southampton Hospital is truly fortunate to have such a loyal community to support the tradition of the annual summer party,” comments Steven M. Bernstein, Southampton Hospital’s Foundation President, “This support is critical to the delivery of quality emergency services considering the geographical isolation of the East End communities.” Summer Party attendees danced to the music of Alex Donner under a huge tent transformed by the creativity of Tony Urrutia and Steven Stolman, and enjoyed an elegant catered dinner by Robbins Wolfe Eventeurs. Also featured will be the popular silent auction and a raffle of fabulous and extravagant trips and prizes. Christie Brinkley is more than one of America’s most successful and recognizable models, she has also achieved success as an artist, writer, photographer, designer, actress, political and environmental activist, and perhaps most importantly to her, a mother of three. Ms. Brinkley is an active and dedicated supporter of many organizations and worthwhile causes mainly focused on the well-being of children and the world they live in. She is the proud recipient of many humanitarian awards and has been honored by many distinguished organizations such as Mother’s Choice, Redbook Magazine’s “Mothers and Shakers Award,” Albert Einstein Spirit of Achievement Award, as well as Cookie Magazine’s “Smart Cookie Award.” PHOTO CREDIT: Sara-Herbert Galloway for ManhattanSociety.com
