 AFE HORIZON, the 26-year-old organization that
annually helps more than 400,000 crime victims become survivors in
New York City
, threw a party at the gorgeous oceanfront home of Jane and
Jack Rivkin in
East Hampton
to thank and celebrate its many loyal supporters. They called it
their Second Annual Sunset Celebration.
This year, the event focused on Safe Horizon’s child advocacy
centers, which provide assistance to physically and sexually
abused children and their families.
Safe Horizon CEO Gordon J. Campbell
and Jacqueline Winston, senior director of the
Brooklyn
Child
Advocacy
Center
welcomed the guests and Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum
extolled their service to the community.
It was a fun family party. Children and their parents, including Cynthia
and Dan Lufkin with their daughter Schuyler, Helen,
Tim and Storey Schifter, lighting guru Bentley Meeker
with son Jensen and pretty Jo Hook, and Cricket,
Richard, India and Manzi Burns, were delighted
decorating cookies, having their faces painted, and laughing at
the magician, juggler and stilt walker, who were brought in from
NY Fun Factory.
