Rescues & Rosé

ARF Hamptons kicked off the summer season with its signature Rescues & Rosé celebration, hosted by the Young Professionals Committee at The Boathouse at East Hampton Point.

Putting a fresh spin on the classic Hamptons rosé party, the evening featured flowing rosé from Wölffer Estate Vineyard, beer from Kidd Squid Brewing Co., specialty cocktails, refreshing mocktails by poppi, and a full open bar. Guests enjoyed music by GR1FN, elevated hors d'oeuvres, live portrait painting by Kathryn McCabe Art, and an exclusive look at the new Summer Collection from Fashion Sponsor J.McLaughlin, including pieces from its collaboration with celebrated interior designer Mark D. Sikes.

While the rosé was certainly a highlight, the true stars of the evening were ARF's adorable adoptable cats and dogs. Guests had the opportunity to meet, cuddle, and snap photos with the shelter animals, creating unforgettable moments with the most perfect sunset while supporting ARF's mission to help homeless pets find loving homes.
