Hamptons Paddle and Party for Pink: The Party. Bridgehampton. The Hamptons Paddle & Party for Pink is an annual two-part event benefiting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). The morning Paddle Board Race, at 8:00 am in Havens Beach, Sag Harbor, is a multi-skill level, WPA sanctioned points race that attracts hundreds of paddlers and spectators. The evening Sunset Party at 6:30 pm, previously held at the residence of Lisa and Richard Perry, is hosted by BCRF Board Member Maria Baum and her husband, Larry. Star-studded evening lineup!

This unique event has become one of the hottest signature soirées on the Hamptons summer circuit. It was founded in 2012 by Maria Baum, a mother of four, the CEO of Tracy Anderson Lifestyle Brands, investor, entrepreneur, and a partner of Tutto Il Giorno restaurants. Maria was introduced to paddle boarding shortly after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She found it provided a positive outlet during her treatment and subsequent recovery. Inspired by her own passion for the sport, Maria was moved to use paddle boarding as a way to raise critical funds for lifesaving breast cancer research. In just three years, The Hamptons Paddle & Party for Pink event has raised over $3.5 million for BCRF. 

Last year’s event was the most successful to date raising over $1.5 million, selling out at both the paddle race and the party. Notable attendees included Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Molly Sims, Martha Stewart, Donna Karan, Jonathan Adler, Simon Doonan, Hilary Rhoda, Sean Avery, Nicole Miller, Carolyn Murphy, Bethenny Frankel, and Tracy Anderson.
