WB11’s Jim Watkins played emcee at the Group for the South Fork, chaired by Ronald Lauder. The event, held at the Wolffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack, raised over $690,000 for its environmental education and advocacy projects. Guests arrived decked out in cool summer fashions for a scrumptious dinner followed by a live auction hosted by Sotheby’s auctioneer Ian Irving. Some of the high-roller’s great “gets” included: the use of a Villa in St. Maarten, which went for $17,000; three couples, two nights at the Mandarin Oriental in Miami for $18,000; and Send a kid to Environmental Camp, which was snatched up for $11,500.

Supporters included: Christie Brinkley, Debbie Bancroft, Aerin Lauder, Douglas Hannant, Lauren Ezersky, Charles and Kristen Krusen, Ann Colley, Nicole Miller, Mary Walker, Ina and Jeffrey Garttten, Susan and Louis Meisel, and dara and Tim O’Hara.

True Hamptons tradition was resurrected once again!
