Southold, NY – On Saturday, June 18, 2016 over 250 guests gathered at The Bridge in Bridgehampton (1180 Millstone Rd in Bridgehampton, NY 11932) to help raise much needed funds for the East End environment. The focus of this year’s fundraising is the state of water quality in the region, which is facing some challenges to maintain.
During an extended cocktail hour, patrons, sponsors and supporters of Group For The East End were dazzled by spectacular sunset views of Peconic Bay while sipping specialty cocktails and an assortment of delectable wines from nearby Wölffer Estate Vineyard. Top winemaker of the legendary vineyard founded by the late Swiss Industrialist Christian Wolffer, Roman Roth was on hand. While strolling around the hilltop clubhouse by architect Roger Ferris, they noshed on hors d’oeuvres and bid on items in the exclusive auction, which included items such as a Butterfield & Robinson bike tour through Portugal, Italian hand-crafted Bomber skis and tickets to the Tony-Award winning hit,Hamilton.
After the sun went down, a scrumptious dinner prepared by The Bridge was be served, and then internationally renowned DJ Sam French spun some irresistible tunes and get everyone dancing under the stars!
