The inaugural Caliente fundraiser, a benefit for Long Island Cares-The Harry Chapin Food Bank and OLA of Eastern Long Island, was held at the picturesque Bridgehampton home of Maria and Kenneth Fishel. Partygoers noshed on a variety of mouthwatering bites from East End eateries as Tito Puente, Jr. and his eight piece band energized attendees with lively music, and celebrated three community luminaries – Paule Pachter, CEO of Long Island Cares, Minerva Perez, Executive Director of OLA, and artist and activist April Gornik.
