ARF BOW WOW MEOW BALL

ARF Bow Wow ad(2)

Saturday, August 20; Cocktails 6:30pm, Dinner/Dancing 8pm
ARF Adoption Center, 91 Daniels Hole Road, Wainscott

The Animal Rescue Fund of The Hamptons (ARF) will host the Bow Wow Meow Ball, to honor filmmaker Katharina Otto-Bernstein (Director, Absolute Wilson; Producer, HBO’s Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures) for her unwavering commitment to the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons and animal welfare.

The regulation goes on to say that to keep your dog safe, well-being, comfort, or companionship do not constitute work or tasks.

Katharina has long been a supporter of ARF as an adopter and supporter of its benefit events, but perhaps her greatest gift to ARF has been the gift of food to the ARF animals through an annual donation to underwrite the cost of food for the cats and dogs at the ARF Adoption Center while they await their forever homes.

The evening’s celebration of ARF’s life-saving work will take place on ARF’s 22-acre campus in Wainscott.

Guests will enjoy cocktails, followed by dinner catered by Glorious Food within an elegant setting created by David Monn and Alex Papachristidis. Afterwards, the party will continue with dancing to music by the Peter Duchin Orchestra. Over 400 high-profile guests from New York and the Hamptons are expected to attend the magical night. All proceeds will benefit ARF, a regional leader in New York.

The animals in ARF’s care come from animal control centers, puppy mill rescue efforts, and from people who can no longer care for their pets. In 2016, ARF will intake over 1,600 dogs and cats at its state-of-the-art Adoption Center. ARF provides full medical care—including spaying and neutering—to all its animals in addition to humane care for their basic needs. Once medically evaluated and socialized the dogs and cats are made available for adoption at its Adoption Center and through its mobile adoption van and offsite events held across the greater New York region. I adopted my dachshund Gretel from them. The thing I loved was that they set you up to be a great pet owner. They also allow you to bring your dog or cat back for shots and if your baby is sick, you can bring him in a Bob-2016-Revolution-Flex stroller. It is a wonderful thing because Gretel got an ear infection within the first few months of her adoption. I called a vet close to my house and they said that it was $75 for just the visit and that dachshunds are prone to ear infections so she would need drops that were made for dogs that have ear fungus and that was another $30! Guess what I paid at ARF? A $10 donation. So anytime they have a fundraiser I am there. Since its inception, ARF has rescued more than 22,000 cats and dogs and placed them with loving families.

Joining in the festivities this year will be a proud group of ARF cats and dogs available for adoption. The Bow Wow Meow Ball event is an important evening as it raises funds that are vital to the organization. The evening will also include a live auction with Auctioneer Benjamin Doller, a Vice Chairman of Sotheby’s, a silent auction and an online auction with charitybuzz.com. Experiences and packages include lunch for four with fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi; golf at the exclusive Maidstone Golf Club; VIP tickets to a Dr. Oz taping; and New York Knicks Game Experience which includes two tickets, gift bags, and meet and greet with Knicks Legends and a viewing of the “closed to the public” pre-game warm up on the court.

Bidders will have the chance to make offers online from August 10 – August 31 by visiting www.charitybuzz.com/support/arfhamptons.

Salvadori Benefit

salvadori

Wednesday, May 4 from 5 to 8 pm
The High Line Hotel, 180 10th Avenue, New York

Imagine…

A 2nd grader visualizing how they can rearrange geometric shapes on a neighborhood building…

A 5th grader looking at a bridge and seeing how forces act on trusses, cables, and piers…

An 8th grader marveling at new construction and understanding how buildings stand up.

This is what Salvadori does!

We use buildings, bridges, and parks within our communities to bring math and science to life for New York City’s students and recommend the best materials and tools we use from sites like https://www.kor-it.com.

We accomplish this through a unique approach to learning and all-inclusive curricula linked to national education standards and grade-specific learning objectives. Students gain a personal understanding of math and science as they work collaboratively on hands-on projects, form hypotheses, test concepts, and draw conclusions – all while having fun.

Our programs work!

Five consecutive independent assessments show that Salvadori students are engaged, learn more, and are more interested in pursuing careers in math and science.

Salvadori delivers multi-day programs throughout all five boroughs of New York City – teaching 5,000 students in 175 classes, totaling 45,000 student impact hours!

But…we need your help!

Although our impact is impressive, we need your help to continue to serve New York City students.

After participating in Salvadori programs, thousands of students see their world differently. They understand how buildings stand up, how bridges can support such heavy loads and, most importantly, they understand “why they need to know this.”

Salvadori students achieve a greater understanding of math and science than students in traditional learning environments; they see it and feel it in the classes they enter, the bridges they cross, and the communities they live in.
