"We are grateful, as always, to have such a splendid evening in the Hamptons with our friends and supporters," says David Ludwigson, Chief Development Officer of God's Love We Deliver. "Midsummer Night Drinks is a special way for us to say thank you to our supporters while enjoying a beautiful evening at the home of special friends. Our biggest thanks go to Kelly Behun and Jay Sugarman for hosting our event and our guests this year at their stunning home and for supporting God's Love. We are grateful to all of our guests for supporting our work so that those in the New York City metropolitan area who are too sick to shop or cook for themselves can rely on our programs and services."

Gregory de la Haba donated a sculpture to the event's silent auction. Delicious butlered hors d'oeuvres such as fava bean crostini, mini chicken tacos and steak frites were catered by Canard, Inc. along with a variety of one-bite seafood dishes and barbeque dishes. Finally, guests enjoyed delicious mini desserts such as s'mores and mini lemon ice cream cones. Guests enjoyed music compiled and spun by DJ Karin Ward.

Guests left the beautiful evening with home-made brownies and butterscotch cookies, baked with love by Chuck the Baker, who has been the baker for God's Love for more than 20 years.
