Smashing Success: Callen-Lorde’s Hamptons Tea Dance Raises Over $210,000 For LGBTQ+ Healthcare

On Sunday, July 13, Callen-Lorde Community Health Center’s annual Hamptons Tea Dance raised more than $210,000 for LGBTQ+ healthcare. Held at Nova’s Ark Project in Water Mill, event guests included Maulik Pancholy, Countess Luann de Lesseps, DJ Jon Ali, Braunwyn Spinner, Assemblymember Rebecca Seawright, New York City Councilmember Erik Bottcher, and more.

Since 1992, the event has raised critical funds for community organizations improving the lives of LGBTQ+ New Yorkers. The event has benefited Callen-Lorde Community Health Center since 2016, whose mission is to provide sensitive, quality health care and related services targeted to New York’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities — in all their diversity — regardless of ability to pay. Callen-Lorde serves 23,000 patients annually, promotes health education and wellness, and advocates for LGBTQ+ health issues.
