The Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center, an East End organization known for rescuing and rehabilitating the region's injured native wildlife, added excitement to this year’s Hamptons season with its Summer 2011 Benefit, Get Wild! on August 20, 2011. The event, chaired by Beth Ostrosky Stern, Avis Richards, and Marcy Warren, honored the late Evelyn Alexander as well as celebrated the rehabilitation of thousands of Long Island’s wildlife. Friends, family and guests gathered at the waterfront estate of Leslie Alexander and Liz Brown in Southampton.
Attendees included Ginnie and Augie Frati, Liz Brown and Leslie Alexander, Beth Ostrosky Stern and Howard Stern, Ellen and Chuck Scarborough, Marcy and Michael Warren, Avis and Bruce Richards, Celia and Tim Cunningham, Ellen and Jan Linhart, D.D.S, Joni and Christopher Fischer, Tara Allmen, M.D. and Jean Shafiroff.
During the event, host Leslie Alexander thanked everyone for their attendance and explained how happy his mother, the late Evelyn Alexander, would be for the growth of community involvement within the organization. Founder of the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center, Ginnie Frati, also thanked guests for their generous support and donations to the center and how they will benefit the animals in need. “We can better maintain our medical equipment, get the best veterinary care, and gather skills and training to increase our success rate. We are able to offer state-of-the-art care to our wild neighbors that so richly deserve it because they are usually injured by human activities.”
The animal-friendly event featured gourmet hors d’oeuvres and cocktails from Mayan Woods Catering, and also hosted a silent auction featuring exclusive items such as a two night stay at Distinctive Resort and Residences at the Panoramic View with dinner at 75 Main, an overnight stay at Southampton Inn, an European facial at Alma G Salon & Spa, a Manhattan to Montauk dining experience to restaurants Colicchio & Sons, East Hampton Grill, Driver’s Seat and Navy Beach with a signed copy of The Cookbook Introduction by Top Chef Tom Colicchio, a night out on the town in New York City at La Petite Maison and Lair NYC, dinner for two at Primola, four tickets to Mamma Mia, four tickets to the Bridgehampton Polo Championship Game, two season tickets to the Hampton Theatre Company’s 2011-2012 season, four empire tickets to a Mets game, an at-home private dining experience with Top Chef contestant Danny Gagnon and John, the wine guy from Lieb Vineyard, a studio tour of Sirius/ XM Studios and a sit-in on Howard 100’s The Wrap Up Show with Gary Dell Abate, a handmade duck sculpture from Dianne Marxe, a custom designed shawl from Kimberly Towers, a cashmere blanket from Christopher Fischer, a designer coat from Laundry by Shelli Segal, a men’s wool jacket from Nautica, an original oil leopard print by artist Connie Oshrin, a diamond and ruby white 14-karat gold peacock ring, a blue topaz and sapphire 14-karat yellow gold bird pendant and a signed Rangers’ jersey of Henrik Lundqvist.
