The Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation presents its Sweet 16th Unconditional Love Gala, celebrating compassion, community, and animal welfare. The gala will take place on Saturday, July 19, at 6 PM at a private estate on Ocean Road in Bridgehampton.
This year’s gala honors Alison Eastwood — actor, director, and founder of the Eastwood Ranch Foundation Animal Rescue — as the Animal Welfare Honoree. In addition, the Compassion to Action Award will be presented to Jayni and Chevy Chase by iconic model and activist Christie Brinkley, recognizing their dedication to animal advocacy.
The evening will be hosted by comedians Hannah Berner and Des Bishop, bringing their signature humor and heart to the stage.
As the Shelter prepares for an unprecedented closure this fall to undergo renovations and facility improvements, this year’s gala is set to be the biggest yet, featuring entertainment, high-end auction items such as trips, experiences, art, and collectibles, as well as other donation opportunities for naming rights on areas of the shelter itself.
The Unconditional Love Gala is SASF’s largest fundraiser of the year, with proceeds directly supporting the shelter’s mission to provide care, rehabilitation, and forever homes for homeless animals.
Tickets, tables, and underwriting opportunities are available at ULGALA2025.GIVESMART.COM.
