With almost 500 guests, the annual must-see/be-seen Hamptons charity cocktail party and seated dinner (menu by Duryea’s, STK Steakhouse, Carissa’s Bakery, the Almond and Chloe’s) raised mucho moolah for The Hetrick Martin Institute, the nation’s oldest LGBTQIA+ organization serving queer and trans youth. Special guest Emmy Award winning TV talk show host Tamron Hall greeted everyone by the pool (where Aqualillies performed synchronized swimming routines) at the stunning estate of Marcus Brown, Executive Vice President Entergy Corporation and his family Nannette, Rachel and Christopher in Watermill. Guests included Darren Star, Kelly Bensimon and event co-chairs Larry Milstein, Tonia Steck and Ben Dixon who exclaimed: “Each year, our goal is to beat the prior year’s fundraising record by raising the bar in delivering a truly special experience for School’s Out guests.” Goal achieved! – PETER DAVIS
