Flashbulbs & Fundraisers

Summer in New York isn’t just about beaches and breezes—it’s also the season when philanthropy takes center stage under the Hamptons sun. From Bridgehampton to Water Mill, the glittering social calendar was alive with energy as power players, celebrities, and community leaders gathered to celebrate causes close to their hearts. Under white tents and among manicured gardens, evenings unfolded with dazzling performances, heartfelt tributes, and spirited fundraising that proved generosity never goes out of style. Whether it was championing animal welfare, supporting women’s health, advancing critical medical research, or rallying behind children’s causes, each event combined elegance with impact. These gatherings weren’t just parties; they were testaments to how New Yorkers show up when it matters most. The flashbulbs captured the sparkle, but it was the compassion behind the scenes that truly lit up the summer season.
