Renowned Philanthropist And Influencer Jean Shafiroff On Giving Without Galas

Lee Frydby Lee Fryd

Home Recreation

How to raise money without galas and gowns? That’s the question with which renowned influencer and philanthropist Jean Shafiroff has been grappling within her many charitable boards. Shafiroff approaches volunteer fund raising armed with an MBA, personal style, work ethic and an open heart; promoting causes and inspiring all to give in any way they can. She even wrote a book on “Successful Philanthropyโ€ฆHow to Make a Life by What You Give.”

As a three-time gala chair and last year’s honoree (with husband Martin) of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, she broke fund raising records. She transformed the Southampton Animal Shelter summer event from a small-yield cocktail party to a full blown money-making affair.

“But, it’s a different world now,” Shafiroff told us. “We all accept that. To help reduce the suffering and hardship, the charities I am involved in all have COVID-19 funds.” And Jean is doubling down on her support: donating to the Heart of the Hamptons’ Southampton food pantry, the Stony Brook Southampton Hospital Hero’s Fund, Southampton Animal Shelter’s food pantry, the Ellen Hermanson Foundation, American Humane and New York Women’s Foundation COVID Fund. “It breaks my heart to think of anybody without food,” she said, “especially children.”

Or animals. The American Humane, which was formed in 1877, recently named Shafiroff its National Spokesperson and Ambassador for their Feed America program. “I’m very excited because we’re raising one million dollars for the animals negatively impacted by COVID-19,” she said. “With pandemic unemployment, some people have been forced to surrender their pets because of finances. Others need help feeding their rescue pets. And none of this happens without resources. This campaign will raise money across America for different rescues and shelters. We’ve already reached half our goal, raising $500,000.” Towards that end, American Humane is highlighting Jean in a campaign to get the message out.

For another one of her pet charities, “In lieu of a virtual event,” Jean said, “the Southampton Animal Shelter will do a matching fund campaign to keep the shelter strong and vibrant during the pandemic, and all stray animals fed.”

For other philanthropies, there are now zoom galas. The American Heart Association’s will be June 20. The Ellen Hermanson Foundation, that Jean has chaired and been honored by, is also taking its scheduled 25th Anniversary Gala virtual on July 25, and will provide a program for a virtual 25th Annual Ellen’s Run August 16-31 run, letting runners, pick the date, time and course.

The Hospital’s, called “Gala in Your Garden,” will be August 1. Jean sits on the Hospital Association Board and is a host committee chair. She promises, “Programs will be kept short and succinct.” Elements will depend on the guidelines set up by Mayor Warren and Governor Cuomo. But, the Hospital would like to have table purchasers host their group of ten on their grounds, following social distancing protocol. “Bob Chaloner and possibly a professional emcee will address the group,” said Jean. “There will probably be a restaurant component and/or basket. And again, it will benefit the John and Jenny Paulson Emergency Room.”

What to wear? “The Hospital has never dictated a dress code,” said Jean, “For that evening, a cocktail dress might be nice. But, any kind of backyard loungewear โ€” long pants with a top, for example โ€” would be perfect. I will be hosting in my backyard, and I won’t be too dressed up because I’ll have to help serve my guests. I might even want to wear sneakers to run around in.”

“Right now, what you’re wearing is least important. Participation is what it’s all about. Show your support financially to the best of your ability, or just stay engaged any way you can.”

  • Nearly two years after its debut, El Verano offers a taste of upscale Mexican cuisine in a setting inspired by the charm of vacation summer homes in Mexico. Customers enter a vibrant space filled with beautiful greenery and colorful decor as they enjoy dishes rooted in the heritage of acclaimed chef Julian Medina.โ 
โ 
Medina grew up in Mexico City, where his love for cooking first began. In pursuit of his career, he moved to New York City, where he graduated from the French Culinary Institute. Noticing a lack of refined Mexican dining in Southampton, Medina created El Verano to bring the bold flavors of his roots to the area. Blending Mexican coastal charm with rich culinary traditions, El Verano brings something new to the Southampton dining scene.โ 
โ 
Medina shared some of his signature dishes, journey through the cooking field, and highlighted El Veranoโ€™s fresh and locally sourced ingredients that shape each creation.โ

  • My curiosity piqued when I saw the new, shovel-ready plans at 28 Pepperidge Lane in Amagansett. Included with this nearly two-acre property, are sophisticated and luxurious plans by the firm Resolution: 4 Architecture (RES4). New construction in the Hamptons isnโ€™t easyโ€”but what if your dream home could be architect-designed and delivered directly to you? What is the latest in prefab architecture in 2025?โ 
โ 
To explore this intriguing approach further, Scott connected me directly with Robert Luntz, the co-founder of RES4. See our conversation on redefining luxury through modern modular design, its growing relevance in the Hamptons, and the future of high-end prefabrication.โ 
โ 
For more information about the plans in place at 28 Pepperidge Lane, Amagansett, contact Scott Bradley.โ 
โ 
RES4 has been a pioneer in modern prefab architecture. What inspired you to focus on this method of construction?โ 
โ 
Weโ€™ve spent over two decades innovating ways to deliver exceptional, modern homes efficiently and affordably. Our modular methodology uniquely allows us to combine luxury, precision, and accessibility, transforming the landscape of high-end housing by delivering refined design to a broader market.โ

The event honored two inspiring individuals for their outstanding advocacy and dedication to animal welfare: Martha Stewart, iconic lifestyle entrepreneur and lifelong animal champion, and Dr. Dan Belkin, leading dermatologist and passionate rescue animal advocate.โ 
โ 
Set against the stunning waterfront views of Pier Sixty, the gala brought together philanthropists, celebrities and compassionate supporters to champion NYC Second Chance Rescueโ€™s mission. The night featured a special live performance by Rob Thomas, a special appearance by Georgina Bloomberg, a lively auction led by celebrity host Elvis Duran, host of Elvis Duran and the Morning Show on Z100, surprise guest Alexandra Daddario, and a high-energy DJ set by GEO ROC that kept guests dancing for a cause.โ
