The Ellen Hermanson Foundation is thrilled to host their Summer Gala 2024 fundraising event, to be held on Saturday, July 13^th, 6:30PM-11:30PM at Bridgehampton Tennis & Surf Club in Bridgehampton, NY.  Enjoy Oceanside cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the deck, dinner, dancing and an auction, followed by an after-party beach bonfire and s’mores.

The Foundation is proud to honor Dr. Fredric Weinbaum, medical doctor extraordinaire and former Chief Administrative Officer/COO of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and The Honorable Rebecca A. Seawright, Member of the New York State Assembly whose 3-D screening bill signed into law expands access to cancer screenings without cost sharing, to include 3-D Mammagraphy.  These are two brilliant people who have done so much to make our community a healthier place

The event will feature DJ Michael of East End Entertainment, cuisine by Robbins Wolfe Eventeurs and Lucas Hunt, President of HUNT Auctioneers and a celebrated American Poet,  will be the Master of Ceremonies for the live auction.  Jean Shafiroff, noted philanthropist and author, is the Gala Chair, along with the Young Professional Committee, Host Committee and The Board of Directors.

This year funds raised will go toward acquiring a cutting-edge tomosynthesis mammography machine at the center, providing breast screenings and diagnostic procedures, allocating Ellen’s Well micro-grants for transportation and social services, supporting the Phillips Family Cancer Care Summit and paying a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), a nurse practitioner, and an oncology nurse patient navigator at Ellen’s Well.
