“I am blown away by the turnout for our 5th Holiday House Hamptons Opening Night White Party. It warms my heart to see a house full of people who care so deeply about our important cause. The house could not be more beautiful thanks to our team of incredible designers and artists, and I can’t wait for more people to experience it over the next two months. I am so grateful to everybody involved for making my dreams come true. Cheers to an incredible summer and to one day living in a world without breast cancer,” said Iris Dankner.
