Deets: On Saturday, August 3rd, Stony Brook Southampton Hospital will host its 61st Annual Summer Party in the fields at Wickapogue Road and Old Town Road, Southampton. The Annual Summer Party is a landmark event in the Hamptons and this year benefits the Jenny & John Paulson Emergency Department.
The renowned Annual Summer Party is the largest fundraising event in the Hamptons and has raised an impressive $1.5M+ in 2018 and $100M+ over the past 60 years in support of the Stony Brook Southampton Hospital.
“As the only hospital on the South Fork of Long Island, we have a tremendous responsibility to provide best-in-class healthcare to everyone who vacations or lives out here. Fortunately, we have a world class team of physicians, support staff and generous donors who enable us to run a 24/7 Emergency Department, a Heart & Stroke Center, a Breast Center, a Cancer Center and more, which all offer the highest level of care, comparable with the best medical institutions in the city and around the country. Our summer party is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and I would personally like to thank every single person who lends us their support and makes it such a great night,” said Bob Chaloner.
The party will be emceed by Chuck Scarborough and attended by the who’s who of Southampton. Guests will include: Marigay McKee & Bill Ford, Audrey & Martin Gruss, Jenny & John Paulson, Margo & James Nederlander and Bridget Moynahan.
Red carpet designers, Sachin & Babi, are the Fashion Chairs this year and will be attending the event. Sachin & Babi are well known for their celebrity clients who include Michelle Obama, Octavia Spencer, Mindy Kaling, Brooke Shields, Patricia Clarkson and many other leading ladies.
Honorary Chairs for the event are Georgina Bloomberg and Stanley & Fiona Druckenmiller, Junior Chairs are Michael Lorber, Jackie Sharioff, Elizabeth Shafiroff, Caitlin Diebold, and Vanessa Gordon. Medical Chairs are Dr. Charles & Diane Guida and Dr. John & Alessandra Hubbell and the Corporate Chair is Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
Dinner and décor are being overseen by celebrity event planner, Lawrence Scott. This year Scott will be interpreting the party’s theme of ‘The Colors of Summer’ in fun and surprising decorative designs.
During the cocktail hour, Hamptons Lemonade and Hamptontinis will be served along side top shelf wines and cocktails; and a new local brand, Montaukila will be serving its 100 percent agave azul tequila.
The summer soiree will offer a fun, memorable night beginning at 6:30 p.m. with cocktails, followed by an elegant dinner at 7:30 p.m. Once dinner concludes, guests will be invited to dance to the eighteen-piece Groove Society band.
All proceeds raised from this year’s event will help to sustain Stony Brook Southampton Hospital’s Emergency Department, which is open 24/7 year-round for residents as well as visitors and summer guests. The Jenny & John Paulson Emergency Department is South Fork’s only emergency care facility, treating more than 25,000 people annually.
About Stony Brook Southampton Hospital
Stony Brook Southampton Hospital is staffed by approximately 250 physicians, dentists, and allied health professionals representing more than 50 medical specialties.
A campus of Stony Brook University Hospital, Stony Brook Southampton Hospital offers a diverse array of clinical services, ranging from primary medical care to specialized surgical procedures, including orthopedics and bariatrics.
As the South Fork’s only emergency care facility, the Jenny & John Paulson Emergency Department is open year-round. It is a Level III Trauma Center, with surgical residents in-house 24|7 and a full team available within a 30-minute response time. Nationally recognized as a high performing ER*, it also offers a ‘Fast Track’ to address with minor injuries and illnesses as quickly as possible.
The hospital includes a Heart and Stroke Center and a new Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory was opened at the hospital in 2018. This facility provides both elective and emergency procedures for coronary artery disease. In the case of a heart attack, patients treated with angioplasty within one hour of their arrival into the Emergency Department increased their chances of survival by 40% compared to patients who were received a procedure after two hours or more.
The new Phillips Family Cancer Center just opened in April 2019 providing the East End community with advanced, comprehensive cancer care right here in Southampton in a state-of-the-art healing environment.
Being able to offer these life-saving emergency services, close to home, eliminating prolonged transfers, often means the difference between life and death. The sooner we can deliver care, the better the outcome for the patient and the sooner they can return to their daily lives.
The Stony Brook Southampton hospital also includes The Breast Health Center, The Center for Advanced Wound Healing, and 32 satellite care centers throughout the South Fork of Long Island. The hospital is the largest employer on the South Fork with more than 1,200 employees.
