“All proceeds will help us continue our high standard of care for our homeless shelter pets and support Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation’s In House and Mobile Spay-Neuter Clinics to provide low cost spay, neuter & preventative vet care,” noted Kate McEntee, Marketing Director at Southampton Animal Shelter.
Guests will enjoy appetizers from 230 Elm and sweets from Tate’s Bake Shop. The evening will also feature a variety of wines from Palmer Vineyards, Vinkara Vineyards, Fiol Prosecco, and Rapheal Vineyards, and Herbert & Rist will be onsite to provide a diverse wine sampling. Beer lovers can stop by the craft beer tasting station hosted by the Publick House Southampton, and attendees can stay hydrated with Hint Water.
Topiary Flower Shop will help set the scene with stunning centerpieces. East End-based Certain Moves Trio, a five piece group or trio whose specialty is smooth jazz and R&B, will take the stage to perform the evening’s tunes. But, by far, the highlight of the event will be the cute canines and felines from Southampton Animal Shelter who are hoping to find a family during the benefit.
Tickets are $50 per person.
