York skyline from Greystone Property Development’s penthouse
and rooftop terrace at 180 E. 93rd Street. It was a party to
kick off the American Cancer Society’s inaugural Hamptons
summer bash, Festive in Flip Flops. The event,
co-chaired by

and Gopa Dobson
is set for Saturday, August 20th at the
Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club.

Cancer Society to support its critical programs and services
on Long Island.
For more than 50 years, the
Society has been providing critical patient services to
individuals on Long Island. During the past year, they have
assisted cancer patients with nearly 2,000 rides to and from
their treatments. Camp Adventure on Shelter Island hosts 150
children each summer. This fun-filled, sleep-away camp is
for children with cancer and their siblings, ages 6-18. The
Society has two Long Island research facilities – Stony
Brook University and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories.
At Festive in Flip Flops, guests will gather for a
wonderful evening beginning with cocktails followed by
dinner and dancing. There will be live and silent auctions.
