Annual Hamptons Happening took place on July 14 at
the home of Robyn and Kenneth
Joseph on Georgica Pond in Wainscott, NY.
The gourmet tasting event and on-line auction included
restaurants serving signature dishes, and auction
items donated by more than 50 prominent individuals
and businesses. It was attended by more than 400
guests and raised $240,000 for the Samuel Waxman
Cancer Research Foundation.
Benefit co-chairs were Laurie Schaffran and Marion
Waxman. Committee members included: Meg
Axelrod; Vira Capeci; Dean and Kris
Denninger; Robyn Joseph; Marcia
Lavipour; Gale Meisenberg; Thomas
Mikolasko; Diane Spilker; Clifford
Sterling; Helen Taylor Ginns and Dena
K. Weiner. Joanna Steinberg was
the Junior Committee chair.
Now in its 32nd year, the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research
Foundation (SWCRF) is a unique non-profit international
organization dedicated to supporting focused concept-driven
research to develop targeted cancer cell-specific therapies
with minimal toxicity, such as differentiation therapy.
Two drugs developed through Foundation-supported research,
and now used worldwide, have proven the effectiveness
of non-toxic differentiation in the treatment of acute
promyelocytic leukemia (APL), which has helped cure
50,000 people.
