Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka welcomed an impressive group of guests to their East Hampton home on Saturday, July 11, for the 25th annual Midsummer Night Drinks benefiting God’s Love We Deliver. The beloved Hamptons summer tradition raised more than $500,000 in support of the nonprofit’s life-saving medically tailored meal program for New Yorkers living with serious illness.
Katie Couric, Hari Nef, Sophie Sumner, Tyler Lain, Stacey Bendet, Derek Blasberg, Katie Lee Biegel, Jamie Drake, Nick Brown, and Alina Cho were among those who gathered poolside for an evening celebrating philanthropy and community.
Guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres, Petrossian caviar, an abundant raw bar, and cocktails from Mermaid Gin, Wölffer Estate Vineyard, and Fever-Tree, alongside mocktails inspired by Harris and Burtka’s book Both Sides of the Glass. Entertainment included a synchronized swimming performance by the Aqualillies and live music from Brenna Whitaker, creating an elegant backdrop for the milestone celebration.
The evening marked one of the most successful Midsummer Night Drinks events to date, with proceeds helping God’s Love We Deliver continue providing medically tailored meals, nutrition education, and counseling to thousands of New Yorkers affected by serious illness. Guests departed with thoughtful gifts from Sol de Janeiro and the organization’s signature brownies, baked with love by Head Chef Dorothy Auer and dedicated volunteers.
This year’s silver anniversary gathering served as a meaningful reminder of the power of community, generosity, and shared purpose—bringing together familiar faces from media, fashion, entertainment, and design for one of the Hamptons’ most impactful charitable evenings of the season.
