In 2005, Wellness Foundation Founder and visionary, Doug Mercer set out to transform the health of his community by empowering children and adults with education and support so they could learn the power of a plant based lifestyle to prevent and reverse chronic disease. On Saturday evening at the East Hampton Historical Society’s bucolic Mulford Farm, Wellness Foundation hosted its 7th Annual Summer Benefit to a sold out crowd. This year’s theme was “A Celebration of Our Community Wellness Zone” and 11 honorees received the 2018 Illumination Award.
