It was off to the races at the inaugural Southampton Youth Services (SYS) Spring Bash “Run for the Roses” on Saturday, May 3. Attendees caught the Kentucky Derby on the jumbotron while sipping on traditional Mint Juleps and enjoying lite bites from Thyme and Again.
“SYS had a fantastic committee for this inaugural event who put it all together and made it a success on so many levels,” says Southampton Youth Services Marketing Director Sharon O. Wood. “We are so honored by the community support, with over 60 donations both financially and in-kind services and donations.”
