On
Monday, June 29th, 2009, golf enthusiasts and Hamptons philanthropists
gathered to support the Hamptons Golf Classic V at the Hampton Hills
Golf and Country Club in West Hampton, New York.
New York Knicks point guard Chris Duhon hosted the event alongside
NY Giants defensive end Justin Tuck and Hamptons Golf Classic founder
Zev Norotsky. Special guests included Real Housewives of New York City's
Jill Zarin as well as this year's honoree, Richie Notar. The
daylong sports event sponsored by Hamptons Magazine and Perrier raised
money for Chris Duhon's Stand Tall Foundation, addressing the
needs of children through recreation. The money raised from the
day's event will rebuild basketball courts destroyed by Hurricane
Katrina in Duhon's home state of Louisiana.
Other attendees and golf players included Richard Johnson, Sessa von
Richthofen, Adam Alpert, Greg Beinin, artist Adam Port, John Norotsky,
Alan Rosenberg, Alan Weinstein, Jeffrey Rackover, John Brennan, and
Glen Cho. VIP guests received complimentary TW Steel Watches and one
of a kind Magaschoni cashmere sweaters. The evening concluded with
an awards ceremony and silent auction.
The annual Hamptons Golf Classic provides a venue where Hamptons socialites,
executives, and entertainment industry personalities can come together
to support an individual charity, which changes every year. Past recipients
of the Hamptons Golf Classic's fundraisers have included the Fresh
Air Fund, the Make a Wish Foundation, and Help USA.
