Two Fire Island Events Benefit the Hetrick-Martin Institute

On Saturday, August 6, Hetrick-Martin Institute, the nation's oldest and largest non-profit, multi-service agency dedicated to serving LGBTQ youth, presents "Summer Camp," their Fire Island Pines annual signature event benefit. The party welcomes 150 leaders in fashion, entertainment, media, politics, legal and business sectors.

The afternoon pool party will be held at the beautiful Madison Hotel in Fire Island Pines. All of the money raised from Summer Camp will be used to ensure that those HMI youth members returning to school in September will have back-to-school supplies, clothing and continued access to our programs, services and hot meals.

The event will be held from 3-6 p.m. at The Madison, 22 Atlantic Walk, Fire Island Pines, NY. For information or to register, visit https://www.hmi.org/summercamp
