NIGHTLIGHT: A Sunset Cocktail Party Kicks Off Festive in Flip Flops The American Cancer Society’s Summer Bash in Bridgehampton

Whom You Know strongly supports the American Cancer Society and we cover this event in the memory of Elizabeth Deegan Matava, pictured on this website, who passed away from brain cancer. We believe she was there in spirit! On a beautiful June evening, over 250 people relaxed, enjoyed cocktails and admired the 360-degree view of the New York skyline from Greystone Property Development’s penthouse and rooftop terrace at 180 E. 93rd Street. It was a party to kick off the American Cancer Society’s inaugural Hamptons summer bash, Festive in Flip Flops. The event, co-chaired by Sherri Abruzzese and Gopa Dobson is set for Saturday, August 20^th at the Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club.

Doug Benach of Greystone Properties, Richard Steinberg of Warburg Realty, Julie Dannenberg and Peter Davis of AVENUE magazine and pr guru R. Couri Hay hosted the event.

Among the guests were: Cynthia Lufkin, Mary and Michael Levine, Jonathan Goldberg, Roni Cowen, Dr. Nicholas Toscano, Diana Feldman, Cassandra Seidenfeld, Cece Cord, Melissa Berkelhammer, Jenny and Greg D’Alba, Jamee and Peter Gregory, Elaine Sargent, Jean Shafiroff, Wendy Carduner, Dr. Robert Grant, Sabrina Forsythe, Geoffrey Bradfield, Peachy Deegan, Rob Tardio, Mark Gilbertson, Sharon Bush and Cricket Burns.

Mr. Benach presented Mrs. Abruzzese with a check for $2500 made out to the American Cancer Society to support its critical programs and services on Long Island.

For more than 50 years, the Society has been providing critical patient services to individuals on Long Island. During the past year, they have assisted cancer patients with nearly 2,000 rides to and from their treatments. Camp Adventure on Shelter Island hosts 150 children each summer. This fun-filled, sleep-away camp is for children with cancer and their siblings, ages 6-18. The Society has two Long Island research facilities – Stony Brook University and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories.

At Festive in Flip Flops, guests will gather for a wonderful evening beginning with cocktails followed by dinner and dancing. There will be live and silent auctions. For tickets beginning at $500, please contact Tedd Smith at 631-300-3175 or tedd.smith@cancer.org. We highly encourage you all to participate!!!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
