In celebration of its sixteenth year, the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation hosted its annual Unconditional Love Gala at an elegant estate in Bridgehampton. With a crowd of longtime supporters and familiar faces from the entertainment and philanthropic worlds, the evening raised over $700,000 for the shelter’s lifesaving programs.
The event spotlighted honoree Alison Eastwood for her tireless work in animal rescue, while Jayni and Chevy Chase were recognized for their commitment to animal welfare. Christie Brinkley took the stage to present the awards, joining hosts Hannah Berner and Des Bishop in keeping the evening upbeat and heartfelt.
Guests dined, danced, and bid on luxury items in a spirited auction that included rare timepieces, exclusive travel experiences, and one-of-a-kind artwork. With major renovations planned for the shelter this fall, funds raised will support everything from medical care to adoption services. The guest list included Beth Stern, Luann de Lesseps, Alexa Ray Joel, and Jean Shafiroff among others, all lending their star power to a cause united in compassion.
