Fitness expert Tracy Anderson joined co-hosts Maria & Larry Baum, Lisa & Richard Perry, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Martha Stewart and more turned out to support breast cancer research at the sold-out summer fundraiser, which involves a morning paddle race in Sag Harbor and a sunset party at the Perry residence in North Haven.

A surprise performance by synchronized swimmers, the WaterWorks, kicked off the evening sporting Lisa Perry + Solid & Striped swimsuits. Guests were then treated to a special set from four-time Grammy nominee Taylor Dayne, who sang her hit “Tell It to My Heart.” The highlight of the evening was the auction of one-of-a-kind Laird Hamilton Standup paddle boards designed and signed by Gwyneth Paltrow, Tory Burch, Aerin Lauder, Martha Stewart, Nicole Miller, Lisa Perry and Leviev among others. The party continued into the night with the backdrop of the Perry residence’s sweeping bay views and beautiful décor from Taylor Creative and Hilary Pereira Design.
