Each summer, the Hamptons becomes a canvas of elegance, celebration, and purpose. But on Saturday, August 9th, 2025, a truly meaningful event will rise above the glitter and glamor: The Hamptons Garden Gala, held in Water Mill, New York, in support of the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI). This enchanting evening—presented by the Silverstein Dream Foundation—is far more than just a gala. It’s a movement. A beautifully masked, starlit movement designed to fund hope, research, and real solutions in the fight against diabetes.
A Masquerade With Meaning
Set against the lush backdrop of a private Water Mill estate, the gala promises guests an unforgettable evening filled with cocktails, dinner, dancing, live entertainment, and powerful inspiration. The dress code? Masquerade attire, perfect for adding an air of mystery to a night filled with purpose. But behind the masks lies something far more important—compassion, unity, and a commitment to change the lives of millions affected by diabetes.
A Star-Studded Team of Hosts
At the helm of this philanthropic celebration are Chairs Patricia and Roger Silverstein, of the Silverstein Dream Foundation, whose tireless efforts continue to illuminate pathways to life-saving research. Alongside them are Vice Chairs Carrie and Brian Packin, bringing their energy and influence to drive awareness and generosity.
This incredible initiative is backed by a powerhouse event committee featuring:
