As the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons continues to rehabilitate and successfully release animals back into the wild across the East End, there is more to celebrate at the 14th Annual GET WILD Benefit. Bridget Fleming and Karen Johnston, DVM will be honored at this year’s benefit. The event will be hosted at Swans Crossing in Southampton Village on Saturday, June 25, from 5 to 7 PM. The event chairs for this year’s benefit are Ingrid Edelman, Jane Gill, and Jonathan McCann.
Guests will be treated to live music, cocktails, light fare, and a silent auction. All guests are welcome to the cocktail party, which will feature appearances by some of the non-releasable hawks and owls that the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center has rehabilitated and now reside at the Center. All proceeds will benefit the native wildlife treated at the hospital.
The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center is Eastern Long Island’s only wildlife hospital. The non-profit organization is dedicated to the rehabilitation of wild animals impacted by human encroachment on their habitat. It is a grass-roots organization that began with a few concerned friends and has grown to include over 3,000 members and supporters. The center operates as a full-service professional wildlife hospital, with licensed rehabilitators, biologists, animal behaviorists, and volunteers on staff.
