Ellen Hermanson Foundation’s Starry Night Honors Jennifer Finkelstein And Ellen Hermanson Breast Center’s Medical Staff

With her beatific smile and can do ethic, Julie Ratner spreads a culture of caring as she moves through this world. 21 years ago, Julie created Ellen’s Run from her kitchen table, to carry on the work of her sister, Ellen Hermanson, felled by breast cancer while working to support other women battling the disease. Today, thanks to Ratner’s fundraising, state of the art medical treatment and psychosocial support are available to all women on Long Island, regardless of ability to pay. We felt the love at the Ellen Hermanson Foundation’s Starry Night, chaired by Jean Shafiroff, on the grounds of the Southampton Hospital gala.
