Ellen and Chuck Scarborough will host the Gimme Shelter Animal Rescue Fourth Annual Summer Benefit on Saturday from 5 to 8 PM at their estate in Southampton. The event raises money to save dogs who are on death row at kill shelters across the country, spay/neuter the dogs, pay for all necessary medical care and find them loving forever homes. Chuck Scarborough, Emmy Award-winning NBC anchor and correspondent, animal lover and adopter of two Gimme Shelter dogs, will act as master of ceremonies. Animal advocates Georgina Bloomberg and Prince Lorenzo Borghese are on the honorary committee.
During the event, attendees will be able to enjoy live music from Lynn Blue Band and Hampton Jams while sipping on cocktails from Altaneve prosecco, Clyde May’s whiskey and Tito’s vodka and enjoying hors d’oeuvres from Between the Bread caterers, Serafina pizzas and Buddhaberry frozen yogurt.
