24th Ann Summer Fund Raising Party, SoFo "ROCKS". Honoree, Susan Rockefeller & Christie Brinkley will serve as the "Honorary Mermaid". SoFo "ROCKS" is appropriately named for their honoree, "MERMAID EXTRAORDINAIRE" Susan Rockefeller. A true Renaissance woman, Susan is a documentary film maker, author, jewelry designer and most of all, perceived as an important philanthropist. She serves on the Board of OCEANA, The Alaska Conservation Fund and the David Rockefeller Fund. Christie Brinkley, also very well known for her respect and work with the environment was SoFo's honoree, Summer 2012. This year she will serve as the "Honorary Mermaid".Together they make a strong team when speaking about anything environmentally connected. 

The event, which runs from 6:30 - 9:30 pm will begin with guests touring the museum. The group will then be ushered into a 5000 sq ft tent that will be designed by Daria Culver and Jason Bencivenga, Partyup. This space will be transformed into a lounge-like atmosphere, totally untraditional looking and the music will be provided by one, if not, "THE" hottest DJs around today. DJ Phresh, generously donated by Adam Alpert and his company 4 a.m. DJ's, will keep the dance floor packed all night long, with a little break so that SoFo may make their important presentations. The food will be catered by talented Chef Peter Ambrose. A full, open bar will be provided by Michael Cinque, Amagansett & Wainscott Wine & Spirits and Peggy Lauber, Wolffer Vineyards. Tickets begin at $ 250, with a lower ticket being offered at $ 125 for juniors, those 30 and under. http://www.sofo.org/announcements.asp
