2014 ARF Bow Wow Meow Ball

On Saturday, August 16th the Animal Rescue Fund of The Hamptons hosted the Bow Wow Meow Ball, an evening of dinner and dancing amidst the 22 acre ARF campus in Wainscott. Guests enjoyed cocktails, followed by dinner and dancing. Over 400 high profile guests including Kathy and Bill Rayner, Alina Cho, Steve Kroft, Tommy and Heather Leeds, among others attended the magical evening to celebrate ARF's 40th Anniversary and raise important funds for cats and dogs in need. The proceeds from the event benefited ARF, the leading animal adoption center on the East End of Long Island.

The lively crowd danced to the music of Peter Duchin and his Orchestra. Benjamin Doller of Sotheby's served as auctioneer for the live auction, presented by Charitybuzz. The large tent was decorated by Alex Papacristidis and David Monn. Joining in the evening's festivities was a selection of ARF cats and dogs available for adoption. By the end of the evening, three puppies found loving homes as a direct result of the celebration and over $600,000 had been raised in support of ARF.
