Three hundred, plus, old and new friends of Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation enjoyed a magical 8th Hamptons Happening benefit event on Saturday, August 11th at the magnificent home of Maria & Kenneth Fishel.

“Jean-Georges a la carte”, featured incredible edibles by Three Star Michelin Chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten and seven of his executive chefs, as well as local caterers and food purveyors, outstanding wines and spirits, and an incomparable array of desserts! YUM!!

Chris Wragge, CBS Channel 2 News Anchor, served as the evening’s emcee, and introduced Dr. Ronald DePinho, President MD Anderson Cancer Center and Samuel Waxman, who both encouraged all to ‘Collaborate for a Cure’, to beat cancer. The evening raised over $250,000, which will be utilized to fund the Foundation’s leukemia and breast cancer research programs. Great work guys!!
