There are a lot of swanky parties in the Hamptons, but not many are held at the North Haven beachfront estate of financier Richard Perry and his wife designer Lisa Perry (whose popular Sixties retro designs are a landmark on Madison Avenue).
On Saturday night (Aug.17) the Perrys opened their cheerful, magnificent home
to over 500 people and raised more than $1.2 million for the Breast
Cancer Research Fund. They did it for their friend Maria Baum, a breast
cancer survivor, and her family including husband Larry Baum. The Baums
are co-owners of the mouth watering Tutto il Giorno restaurants in Sag
Harbor and Southampton.
It was really a day long event called “Paddle for Pink.” Early
Saturday morning, participants had a paddle surf race across the bay
from Sag Harbor with star athletes Laird Hamilton and Gabrielle Reece
leading the fray.
The nighttime guests — including Hamilton and Reece– munched on food
from local restaurants and caterers, danced to a great deejay, and bid
on HG Photocloth paddleboards designed by Martha Stewart, Nicole Miller, and several
other designers.
