ARF Hamptons has introduced an innovative summer fundraising event — 'Rescues & Rosé.' The event blends the Hamptons' signature rosé culture with animal welfare advocacy.
Scheduled for June 14, 2025, at the organization's East Hampton campus, the soirée offers attendees an upscale social experience featuring premium beverages, including wines from Wölffer Estate Vineyard and Channing Daughters, craft beer, and specialty cocktails. The beverage service is complemented by live music, gourmet food stations, and a raw bar. The unique draw of the Rescues & Rosé event lies in its integration of adoptable rescue dogs and cats. Guests will be able to interact with animals while supporting ARF's mission to rehabilitate and rehome pets.
Organized by the ARF Hamptons Young Professionals Committee, the initiative aims to engage a younger, socially conscious demographic through a festive yet purposeful gathering that stands apart from typical Hamptons summer parties.
