The 19th annual Hamptons Happening, an eagerly anticipated event that signals the start of Summer on the South Fork, took place on the picturesque estate of Kenneth and Maria Fishel. The Hamptons Happening not only succeeded in providing an evening of indulgence and entertainment but also served a noble purpose.

Through events like this, the SWCRF (Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation) has been able to allocate over $100 million towards groundbreaking cancer research, making a tangible impact in the fight against this devastating disease. Attendees were treated to a delightful array of flavors, as more than a dozen renowned chefs showcased their culinary prowess.

Liquor companies also added to the vibrant atmosphere, with exquisite offerings from esteemed brands. The excitement continued with a thrilling live auction, expertly facilitated by the exclusive auctioneer, Heritage Auctions. As one of the organization’s most significant fundraisers of the year, the Hamptons Happening invited guests to join in their mission, supporting a cause that touches countless lives.
