The Southampton African American Museum held a summer benefit on Thursday, August 12, at Blu Mar in Southampton, co-chaired by Jean and Martin Shafiroff, and Aisha Christian and Michael Steifman.

The event began with a tour of the museum followed by cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and an auction. Included in the auction was a Melissa Kaye Jewelry diamond necklace with a retail price of $7500. All proceeds went to benefit SAAM.

SAAM is the first African American site to be historically designated in the Village of Southampton. Its mission is to promote an understanding and appreciation of African American culture by creating programs that will preserve the past, encourage learning, and enhance the life of the community.
