Big Summer Benefits This Weekend By Marissa Pollina Have fun and support a good cause—there are many great benefits in the Hamptons. Here are a few of the best ones happening this weekend. The Planned Parenthood Beach Party, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 29, at the Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club, 231 MidOcean Drive, Bridgehampton, will kick off a Beach Party Heat Wave to benefit Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic (PPHP). Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic believes it is the right and responsibility of every individual to make his/her own reproductive health decisions. “The association Planned Parenthood goes to schools to give students the education that they might be lacking,â€? said Beverly Katz, Director, Marketing, Communication and Media Relations. “Our mission is to prevent unintended pregnancies, and we do this more than any other organization,â€? Katz noted. “We want to let them be aware there is more choice in their [women’s] decisions.â€? It becomes more of a liberated approach, Katz further explained. Katz mentioned, “Ninety-six percent of Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic’s health care services are preventive such as birth control, life-saving cervical cancer screenings, breast exams, pregnancy tests, STI and HIV testing and counseling services.â€? “This is the 24th year‌of a huge benefit that is really well known and a big item in the Hamptons,â€? said Katz. “[The party] will be at a
public venue. Usually it is at someone’s home,� said Katz. “This year will have a surf theme to it and it will be a little more fun,� Katz said, “there will be surf boards, surf movies, beach wear and surf professionals in attendance.� Andy Cohen, host of “Watch What Happens Live� on the Bravo network, will be the special guest at the Beach Party Heat Wave. There will be a silent auction, pop-up boutiques, cocktails and an art show and sale. For ages 35 and under a ticket costs $75/$100 at the door, otherwise the tickets are $250.
