An evening of music, dancing, food, and fun on Friday from 7 to 11 at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett will raise money for the Kendall Madison Foundation’s scholarship fund. Tickets cost $25 each or $40 for two and can be bought at the door. D.J. Dubbcity will provide the music, and there will be cash raffles.

Each year for the past two decades, the foundation has awarded a $10,000 college scholarship to a graduating East Hampton senior who has played two or more high school sports. Application information is available through the high school’s guidance office. This year’s applications are due on May 6. The fund also benefits from a tipoff basketball tournament at the high school and a golf outing at the Maidstone Club, both in the fall.
