The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF Hamptons) commemorated its 50th anniversary with the Bow Wow Meow Ball at the William P. Rayner Training Center in East Hampton.

The event, hosted by board chair Michael Franzio and Executive Director Kim Nichols, honored ARF’s founders – Barbara Hotchkiss Posener, Sony Schotland and Dorothy Wahl.

The Chantecaille Family was recognized with the Champion of Animals Award.

Over 400 guests enjoyed cocktails, dinner by Olivier Cheng, and dancing to the Peter Duchin Orchestra, with Chuck Scarborough serving as emcee.

The evening featured live and silent auctions, with proceeds benefiting ARF Hamptons’ continued efforts in rescuing and adopting cats and dogs.
