The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons kicked off a two-week-long online auction on Thursday in partnership with Christie’s and hosted by Charitybuzz to benefit the pet adoption center in East Hampton. 

“In lieu of a designer show, we came up with the concept of an online auction drawn from ARF’s extended family of friends and supporters, and bringing beautiful and unique pieces of custom furniture, art, and antiques together for a single sale,” Alex Papachristidis, who is on the nonprofit's board of directors, said in an announcement.

Longtime friends and ARF adopters are donating furniture and decorative items available for online bidding at charitybuzz.com/arfhamptons until March 11. 

Highlights of more than 120 donations include a contemporary, hand-blown green glass vase made in the Venini workshop by Peter Marino; a pair of large cork obelisks handmade by Marian McEvoy; a custom-made Alexa Hampton two-tiered black and gold ash contemporary coffee table; and a Dodie Thayer Lettuce Ware tea service by Tory Burch.

Cole Brauer Has Made Her Mark

After successfully completing her 27,759-mile solo nonstop sail around the world last Thursday as part of the Global Solo Challenge, Cole Brauer received myriad thank-yous from near and far for having not only inspired a generation of young women (and at the beginning of International Women’s Month, no less) who might not otherwise have taken up a historically male-dominated sport, but also for having inspired everyone — young and old, male and female.
