On Thursday, July 14, Hollis Forbes, Kate Davis, Jill Davis, and Mary Margaret Trousdale will co-chair the second annual Lecture & Luncheon Fundraiser at Maidstone Club to support the new Stony Brook Medicine East Hampton Emergency Department, due to open late 2023.
Hosted by the Southampton Hospital Foundation, this year’s guest speaker is Melissa Biggs Bradley, an entrepreneur in the luxury travel space, the founder and CEO of the travel company, Indagare. Bradley will be discussing her book, “Safari Style: Exceptional Camps and Lodges.” A summer lunch and book signing will follow.
“This is a fun and interesting event that raises funds for a vital new healthcare facility,” said Hollis Forbes. “Having an East Hampton Emergency Department will undoubtedly save lives in medical emergencies and will also provide high-quality healthcare services year-round to our community.”
“I am so grateful to everyone who has supported the fundraising to build this new resource, and I hope they, and the community, will continue to rally around this cause to guarantee we have access to excellent medical care when we need it,” concluded Forbes.
“We had such a fantastic inaugural event last year with the wonderful Charlotte Moss as our speaker. With the help of my amazing co-chairs, I am certain this year our luncheon will also be a huge success, both in terms of raising necessary funds and providing a wonderful afternoon together with friends. We are so grateful to Melissa and to everyone who has already supported the event. Since this summer luncheon is our only annual fundraising event for the Emergency Department, we hope everyone will consider joining us by buying a table or ticket. There are still a few spots available!” added Kate Davis.
“We are grateful to our incredibly generous donors and everyone in the community who continues to support this much-needed facility. As an East Hampton resident, I know first-hand what a difference the Emergency Department will make,” added Robert Chaloner, Chief Administrative Officer of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital.
